The Ashanti Regional Communication Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Yandor, has announced that the party is urgently searching for its regional chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, who has gone missing after visiting the EOCO office.
Chairman Wontumi was reportedly dramatically taken into custody by EOCO operatives immediately after leaving an interrogation at the CID Headquarters.
Following several hours of questioning, he fell ill and was subsequently transferred to a hospital.
Despite efforts from NPP executives at both the national and regional levels, they have been unable to locate him and are actively searching hospitals in an attempt to find him.
In an interview on the Orange Sunrise with Alfa Ali, Mr. Yandor expressed that the situation has become a source of frustration for the party.
“No family member of Chairman Wontumi knows where he is, and that is so bad. Is Chairman Wontumi now a family member of the police or EOCO?” He questioned.
The reasons behind the detention of the Ashanti Regional Chairman remain unclear.
Nonetheless, Paul Yandor expressed confidence that Chairman Wontumi would eventually be vindicated.
He suggested that the current actions against him are part of a deliberate strategy by the NDC to intimidate and harass members of the NPP.
Mr. Yandor urged all party members and Ghanaians to join in the fight against what he termed the “political witch-hunting” of NPP officials by the NDC.
