Ghanaian Politics Rocked by Wontumi's Arrest: NPP Official Condemns 'Political Harassment'

Ghanaian Politics Rocked by Wontumi's Arrest: NPP Official Condemns 'Political Harassment' Accra, Ghana – The arrest of prominent political figure, Wontumi, by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) has sparked outrage within the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP). The incident, which took place on May 27, 2025, has been described as political harassment by NPP National Organizer, Henry Nana Boakye. "President Mahama, this is not why we voted for you!" Boakye exclaimed in a video released by Channel One TV, showing him visibly agitated outside what appears to be the location of Wontumi's apprehension. "How can Wontumi be picked ‘Rambo-style’ after cooperating? We won’t allow that!" The video shows Boakye speaking to reporters, surrounded by a group of concerned onlookers. His comments highlight the NPP's belief that the arrest is politically motivated, a claim that EOCO has yet to address publicly. The incident underscores the ongoing tensions within Ghana's political landscape. Channel One News is expected to release further updates as the story develops. The arrest raises questions about the fairness and impartiality of the investigation.
