US EditionIf You Think Any of Our Members Have Done Any Wrong, Take Them to Court —Kodua Dares Gov’t
- Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Chairman Wontumi, was arrested by EOCO on May 27, 2025, and remains in custody in Accra despite bail conditions.
- His arrest came amid allegations of illicit financial activities related to EXIM Bank, with investigations underway into criminal offenses such as deception, illicit fund handling, and resulting damages to public finances.
- NPP members, including MPs and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, protested at EOCO demanding Wontumi's release amid claims the GH50 million bail with two sureties was excessive and difficult to meet.
- Legal counsel Andy Appiah-Kubi disclosed that bail documentation, submitted via MP Bryan Acheampong, was stalled by a last-minute High Court application filed on May 30, prolonging Wontumi's detention.
- The case has drawn criticism of EOCO's opaque communication, with calls for transparency on charges and bail terms amid wider asset recovery efforts linked to an international organized crime network.
