Speaking to reporters after hours of legal and police proceedings, lawyer and NPP Member of Parliament Andy Appiah-Kubi revealed that Wontumi fell ill during the interrogation and was subsequently transferred to a hospital for medical attention.

“My client has been taken to the hospital for medical treatment,” he said. “We haven’t finished with the interrogation, so we will come back to continue — hopefully tomorrow, if his condition improves. Otherwise, he will remain there until doctors discharge him.”

The dramatic turn of events follows the arrest of Chairman Wontumi under what NPP leaders have described as “intimidatory” circumstances.

According to party officials, Wontumi initially honoured a police invitation and was at the CID headquarters responding to questions when he was suddenly whisked away by heavily armed, masked officers and detained for further investigation.

While details of the allegations remain unclear, Mr Appiah-Kubi stated that the police had “preferred some allegations” against his client, to which he had already responded. However, the interrogation was interrupted due to his deteriorating health.

In a parallel development, Mr Appiah-Kubi also disclosed that a writ of summons from Exim Bank was served on Wontumi earlier in the day, introducing a civil legal dimension to the unfolding case.

“We have also received this afternoon a writ of summons from Exim Bank, and we are going to respond to the pleadings tomorrow,” he said. “We are very hopeful that we’ll be able to mount a defence.”

He was keen to distinguish between the civil and criminal aspects of the ongoing issues.

“This is one of a supposed criminal investigation, but I am confident that we will be able to put up a defence,” he stated. “We consider the Exim Bank issue a civil matter, and that’s how we will respond to it in court.”

Chairman Wontumi’s hospitalisation adds a new layer of tension to a politically charged situation that has already triggered strong reactions from within the NPP.

Several party leaders, including National Organiser Henry Nana Boakye, have denounced the arrest as politically motivated and reminiscent of the “dark days” of political intimidation.

As the party awaits further updates on Wontumi’s health and legal status, Mr Appiah-Kubi insisted the NPP will continue to cooperate with the process but will not be silenced.

“We’re cooperating. We believe in the rule of law,” he said.

The party says it will provide further updates as events unfold.

EOCO arrests Chairman Wontumi

Chairman Wontumi was arrested by EOCO operatives shortly after leaving the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) headquarters in Accra, where he had earlier been questioned over allegations of illegal mining activities, including operations in forest reserves without authorisation.

His arrest prompted a swift reaction from party supporters, who gathered at EOCO’s headquarters to show solidarity.

Among them were senior party officials, including the NPP’s General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua, and National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye.

Currently, Chairman Wontumi is being interrogated by EOCO officials. It remains unclear how long the questioning will last or whether he will be released or detained overnight.

According to reports from JoyNews’ Latif Iddrisu, at least four armed EOCO officers have been stationed at the gate, preventing supporters from entering the premises as the situation unfolds.

The precise reasons for EOCO’s intervention remain undisclosed.

The donation, presented on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, included 1,500 bags of rice, 800 boxes of cooking oil, and soap.

However, the dissatisfied traders stated that they did not immediately need those items. To further express their displeasure, they chanted “Yempɛ ɛmo,” meaning “We don’t want rice.”

In a related development, former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, accompanied by some New Patriotic Party (NPP) executives and members, visited the victims on Tuesday.

The 2024 NPP flagbearer promised to support them with GH₵200,000 and bags of cement to aid in reconstruction.

The blaze, which occurred in the early hours of Friday, March 21, destroyed several shops and properties, leaving many traders in distress.

This was after rumours circulated that a woman seen in the House was not her, but rather a relative who resembled her.

In an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Adwoa Safo confirmed that it was indeed her who was present on the day of the vote.

She explained that she had recently returned from the United States and was still recovering from childbirth.

“I was the one seen in Parliament that day. I had just delivered a baby, so I was heavier than usual. Those who claimed it wasn’t me were simply orchestrating a plot to tarnish my image” she said.

Adwoa Safo had previously been granted leave by President Akufo-Addo, beginning in August 2021, for personal reasons.

Although her leave was supposed to end on August 31, 2021, it was extended due to her inability to resume her duties.

Following her absence from Parliament, suspicions grew when a woman, believed to be Adwoa Safo, appeared during the vote for the 2022 Budget Statement and Economic Policy.

“The rumors about it not being me are just part of the deliberate attempt to discredit me,” she added.

The controversy deepened when then-Minority members alleged that the woman seen voting was not the MP, but someone who looked like her.

Adwoa Safo, however, firmly dismissed these claims, reiterating that it was indeed her who returned to vote on the Budget.

A resident of Atico, a suburb in Kaneshie, Accra, George revealed on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen on Wednesday that he was not born blind and lived a normal life.

However, his life took a complete turn during his time at Emit Electronics Institute, a technical school.

“It was examination week, and we were going to write a second paper after dinner when I felt a fluid in my eye. After I opened my eye, I couldn’t see again, and while undergoing treatment, I lost sight in the second eye.

“I was told it was retina detachment, but all attempts to restore my sight have proven futile despite two surgeries,” he stated.

According to him, he currently has an 11-year-old child who is also blind and has undergone two surgeries but is still unable to see.

“It has not been easy for us, and I always have sleepless nights because life in this condition is very tough. I was depending on my mum for survival, but she also passed, and now I have to fend for myself and my son,” he said.

Despite these struggles, George disclosed that he has, on his own, been able to learn laptop repairs and the mounting of accessories from scratch.

He explained that he used Siri as a guide after being gifted an iPhone, which is now broken, forcing him to resort to Android, which does not provide the same level of assistance.

“My friends, who know my abilities, bring their laptops for repairs and also refer me to others. That is how I survive. It is my desire to get a shop to attract more customers,” he appealed.

For his 11-year-old son, George said it would be his greatest joy to enroll him at the Akropong School for the Blind.

“We are discriminated against due to our condition, but for me, I’m old and okay, but I do not want my son to struggle in the future, hence the desire to take him to school. We have been going to the Social Welfare Department for support since 2018, but they gave us a fufu machine last year,” he revealed.

As part of its first impact project for 2025, the Ekosii Sen crew is currently raising funds to make George’s dream a reality.

Donations can be sent to 0544334714, with the account name Dominic Kissie Yeboah.

The unfortunate incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, November 19, 2024.

The deceased driver has been identified as 42-year-old Isaac Atsu Hanu while several passengers sustained various degree of injuries.

The bus was transporting passengers from Tema Adjei Kojo Underbridge to Lapaz.

Mr. Sarbah stated that the vehicle had no mechanical issues, nor was his late boss speeding at the time of the incident.

The man was left hanging by a window with his hand mysteriously stuck in a building, unable to free himself.

He remained trapped in this uncomfortable position all night until he was discovered by residents the following morning.

Upon being found, the suspected thief, drenched in sweat and begging for help, faced the wrath of irate locals who wasted no time in lashing him.

Despite his cries for help, he was left to his fate.

Eyewitnesses described him as a notorious thief and shoplifter who has been terrorizing the neighbourhood.

The incident, which quickly drew a crowd, left many in the community both astonished and amused by the unusual turn of events.

Adom News’s reporter, Owusu Job reported that, the violent clash erupted following the recent launch of DRIP equipment by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo which provided road materials and vehicles to each constituency.

According to the report, both parties had urged their supporters to gather and receive the DRIP equipment from Damongo, with each side claiming ownership of the materials.

This led to a physical confrontation, resulting in two people being seriously injured and rushed to the Salaga District Hospital, while others sustained minor injuries.

“Scores of NPP and NDC supporters in Salaga are now fighting for their lives after a brawl broke out over the arrival of the District Road Improvement Programme equipment,” the report said.

In a video which has gone viral, the youth are seen brandishing various weapons and throwing stones and anything else they could find at each other.

The footage was shared on the social media platform X by TV3.

This time, luck smiled on him and his prediction came to pass.

Feeling vindicated, Prophet Fire Ogya took to social media to share Mama Esther’s lyrics, “Me Judge Akasa,” to wit my ‘judge has spoken’ as a playful response to those who doubted his prophetic abilities.

This comes after the Paramount Chief announced that, seven traditional leaders hence forth have severed ties with the Berekum Traditional Council.

The decision he explained, is in connection with an injunction initiated by the Council which restrained him from attending the funeral of the late Berekum chief in November.

The Dormaahene who is the President of the Bono Regional House of Chiefs made the declaration at the 2023 end-of-year review meeting.

Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II said the decision will be rescinded if only the Berekum Traditional Council comes out with a better explanation.

Reacting to this, Obiri Boahen stated unequivocally that, the Dormaahene has no authority to make such pronouncement.

Accrding to him, the right thing for the chief to have done is a fair hearing before making a decision.

The NPP man has therefore vowed to head to court to challenge the decision as a native from the Bono region and legal practitioner.

“I am not the spokesperson for the Berekum Tradition Council but he can’t cut ties before asking them to appear. Why did he mention only seven chiefs? What about the rest? This is much ado about nothing” he fumed.

“This is fear mongering, empty noise and it must stop. I will go to court before Christmas to have the decision quashed,” Nana Obiri Boahen stated in an interview on Accra-based Peace FM.

The fetish priest was arrested by the police on Wednesday after he was reportedly invited by residents to halt the process.

A video from the scene that has gone viral on social media captured a visibly furious-looking fetish priest being followed by a crowd who cheered him on.

The fetish priest was spotted in his underpants, with a red cloth wrapped around his waist, and herbs coiled around his neck, briskly walking with powder covering his face.

Amidst the cheers from the crowd, he was seen pouring out the components of a bottle he was holding in his hand, perceived to be local gin, ‘akpeteshiie, as he approached the demolition site.

In a confrontation with policemen who were present to supervise the exercise, an order for him to retreat fell on deaf ears.

One of the policemen, believed to be the leader of the team, then ordered for him to be whisked away.

The action, however, did not deter him from protesting the demolition as he screamed out his opposition, saying this is the property of Bio.

The video shared by a Twitter user, Aboagye has attracted hilarious reactions.

On the back of this, Madam Ayorkor Botchwey has relieved staff who were seconded to the passport office of their duties.

The Minister has directed that effective Monday, August 21, 2023, these employees should not report to work because they have been changed.

Notably, she cautioned employees who had worked at the Passport Office for more than a year to stay off work as part of measures to bring sanity.

“Everybody who has been here for more than one year, from Monday on, please do not come back because you have been changed. We want to restore some sanity. Every time politicians are corrupt, meanwhile, it is some public civil servants who will do things that shouldn’t be done, and then they will be put on politicians,” she directed.

This was after a visit to the passport office on Monday, where the Minister expressed her shock at the unfair procedures that employees there subject applicants to.

She bemoaned that, through the collaborative effort of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia the Ministry has been able to digitise the passport acquisition process.

However, some people are deliberately manipulating the system for their gain.

The Minister hinted investigations have commenced into the criminal activities with some names already coming up.

The investigations, she noted, has shown the existence of a network that was working with Passport Office employees, adding that she was shocked at the widespread notion that only politicians and her ministry were responsible for corruption.

“It is disheartening that while blame is often laid at the feet of politicians, it is, in fact, some public servants who engage in these wrongful acts, which are then mistakenly attributed to politicians,” she lamented.

She added investigations into the “goro boys,” who prey on applicants with the help of office staff, are still ongoing and moving forward.

The Minister said she is convinced there is cooperation with certain personnel at the Passport Office because these outside players cannot work alone.

She has, therefore, issued a warning that those found guilty will face legal action as a deterrent to others.
