Chairman Wontumi has been accused of misappropriating $45 million COCOBOD road contract money under the erstwhile Akufo-Addo government.

Speaking on his show Good Evening Ghana Adom-Otchere narrated, “My concern was when I was talking to his people, and himself (Wontumi), was that, ‘But Chairman, why did you take $45 million from COCOBOD and not construct the road? What is the meaning of that?’

“He replied, Me? Have you ever heard COCOBOD giving people money to construct roads in advance? When you construct the road, that is when your money is given to you. You construct it first. So, all these stories are propaganda.”

Adom-Otchere added, “So, I also asked him, ‘What about the cars?’ Then he said, the people I bought the cars from I have told the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) who they are. I bought all my cars in Ghana. If you’re saying the cars are stolen, go and ask them. What wrong have I done?”

Chairman Wontumi was finally released from EOCO custody on June 2, after meeting his bail GHS50 million conditions.

Wontumi was arrested by EOCO following a visit to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) headquarters on Tuesday, May 27 shortly after leaving the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) headquarters in Accra.

According to his lawyer Andy Appiah-Kubi, Wontumi is expected to return to EOCO for further questioning on Wednesday, June 4, and again on Monday, June 9, 2025.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Justice Srem-Sai has revealed that Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi is under investigation for fraud, causing financial loss to the state, and money laundering.

Justice Srem-Sai also revealed that Wontumi is also being investigated for an International organised crime scheme.

The Deputy Attorney General noted that EOCO is assiduously working with our international law enforcement partners on the second strand of criminal investigations.

According to Justice Srem-Sai, the ongoing investigation is being handled by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), with asset recovery efforts already underway to secure suspected proceeds of crime.
