Ghana: NPP Protest Over Wontumi's Detention

NPP Protest Erupts at Ghana's National Intelligence Bureau Over Wontumi's Detention A tense standoff unfolded today outside the National Intelligence Bureau office in Accra, Ghana, as members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) protested the continued detention of their Chairman, Kennedy Agyapong, also known as Chairman Wontumi. Wontumi's detention has surpassed 48 hours, prompting accusations of arbitrary arrest from the NPP. The video footage shows a large group of NPP members gathered outside the Bureau's gates, shouting and demanding Wontumi's immediate release. One protester, visibly agitated, was heard shouting, "We want our chairman! Open the door!" Security personnel were present, maintaining a visible but calm presence. The NPP alleges that Wontumi's detention is politically motivated. This incident highlights the ongoing political tensions in Ghana and raises concerns about due process. The situation remains unresolved, and further developments are expected. The protest ended peacefully, with the NPP promising to continue their efforts to secure Wontumi's release.
