A photo of Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, lying in a hospital bed has gone viral online. The image shows Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, hooked to IV fluids, sparking concerns about his health.
According to his lawyer, Andy Appiah-Kubi, Wontumi was already receiving treatment for the flu before his arrest and the strain of the ongoing investigations may have worsened his condition. The lawyer confirmed that arrangements had been made with EOCO to allow Wontumi access to medical attention while the probe continues.
The specific details of the EOCO investigation remain unclear, but reports suggest it may involve financial dealings with the Ghana EXIM Bank. EOCO has yet to issue an official statement. The situation is still developing, and more updates will follow.
