Ghana's Political Crisis Deepens: NPP Accuses Government of Kidnapping Party Chairman

The arrest of Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has sparked a major political controversy in Ghana. The NPP, the party to which Wontumi belongs, has vehemently denounced the arrest, with National Organizer Henry Nana Boakye describing it as a 'kidnapping'. The video shows NPP MPs and supporters protesting outside the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) headquarters, demanding Wontumi's immediate release. "This was not an arrest; this was a kidnapping!" declared Nana Boakye in an interview featured in the video. The incident highlights rising political tensions in the country, with the NPP accusing the government of political harassment. While the authorities maintain that the arrest was lawful, the NPP's strong reaction and the scale of the protest suggest a significant political showdown is underway. The situation underscores the need for transparent and fair legal processes in Ghana's political landscape.
