The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has reported to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service.
He arrived at the CID Headquarters around 9:30 a.m. on Monday, October 6, 2025.
His appearance follows a directive from the Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, who, on Friday, October 3, 2025, warned that Wontumi would be arrested if he failed to turn himself in, as charges against him had already been approved.
The case involves Akonta Mining Limited, a company linked to the NPP regional chairman, which is being investigated for alleged illegal mining activities.
According to Dr. Ayine, progress on the case had been delayed because key dockets were allegedly hidden during the previous administration.
