The residence of Bernard Antwi Boasiako, commonly known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been stormed by National Security operatives and Police officers.
According to reports, the operation is currently ongoing with security personnel surrounding the premises.
The reason for the National security presence remains unclear.
Some NPP supporters are gathering in a show of solidarity.
Chairman Wontumi had earlier quizzed President John Dramani Mahama about why he froze his accounts.
According to Wontumi, he never served under Akufo-Addo’s administration, so why is the Mahama government attacking him?
Chairman Wontumi cried out that the way the Mahama government was handling him was not right.
He claimed that the John Mahama government personally hated him and accused him wrongly.
Speaking in an interview on Wontumi TV on May 15, 2025, he alleged “They know Wontumi is winning, so they want to attack me. I have never been on any board, never worked as a government official, and never served under Akufo-Addo’s administration, so why attack me?
There is no minister who can say they have given me a job before. So why would you close Wontumi’s account? For what reason?
“Mahama, the way your government is handling me is not right. This isn’t how things should be. I believe this is personal hatred and wrongful accusation. We went for an election, and you have won, so focus on your government,” he added.
