Ghanaian Political Tensions Rise Amidst Chairman Wontumi's Arrest Accra, Ghana – May 29, 2025 – Tensions are rising in Ghana following the arrest of prominent political figure, Chairman Wontumi, at the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) headquarters in Accra. Eyewitnesses report a heavy police presence at the scene. An interview captured outside EOCO headquarters features a man expressing strong concerns about the arrest. He alleges that the arrest is a case of "political harassment," suggesting that the event is politically motivated rather than a result of legal proceedings. He states, "This is political harassment, and it's most unfortunate." This statement reflects the growing unease among some citizens. The video, which has quickly gained traction online, highlights the ongoing political climate in Ghana and raises questions about due process. The lack of official statements from EOCO or the government adds to the uncertainty surrounding the arrest. Further investigation is needed to determine the full circumstances of the arrest and any potential legal ramifications.
