The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has detained Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, also known as “Wontumi,” the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
This occurred shortly after leaving the Criminal Investigations Department’s (CID) headquarters in Accra.
Chairman Wontumi has been summoned to the CID headquarters for further questioning over his alleged involvement in illicit mining, mining in forest reserves, and entering the forest reserve without authority.
