Ghanaian Political Protest: Road Blocked Near NIB Office

Ghanaian Political Protest: NPP Supporters Block Road Near NIB Office A protest by supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) took place in Ghana on May 30, 2025, blocking a road near the National Insurance Board (NIB) office. Eyewitnesses reported seeing a large number of protesters, some of whom were lying on the ground in apparent protest. Police were present at the scene to manage the situation. The protest appears to be related to the arrest of a prominent NPP figure, Chairman Wontumi, by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) three days prior. One protester, speaking on condition of anonymity, stated, "We won't rest until Chairman Wontumi is released!" While the specific demands of the protesters remain unclear, the protest highlights ongoing political tensions in the country. The situation was eventually resolved peacefully, with the road being cleared later in the day.
