Chairman Wontumi Summoned to CID: Questions Raised Over Timing and Circumstances

Accra, Ghana - Ashanti Regional New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman, Bernard Antwi Bosiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, was summoned to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) headquarters in Accra on May 26, 2025. The summons follows an incident in Kumasi on Friday, the details of which remain unclear. A Citi TV reporter covering the event noted that a joint security and police team was denied access to Chairman Wontumi's home due to the absence of a search warrant. "But why should it be Wontumi they are picking?" questioned the reporter, highlighting the perceived selective targeting. The report also mentions past accusations against Chairman Wontumi and a recent directive from the Chief of Staff to halt certain payments, raising questions about the context of the summons. The situation remains under development, and further updates are expected.
