Ghanaian MPs Protest: Demand for Chairman Wontumi's Release

Ghanaian Minority MPs March on EOCO Demanding Release of Chairman Wontumi A protest march took place today in Accra, Ghana, as Minority Members of Parliament (MPs) voiced their opposition to the continued detention of Chairman Wontumi. The MPs marched to the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) to demand his immediate release. The protest was led by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who addressed the media during the march. "Wontumi must be freed now! He will not run away," Afenyo-Markin declared, emphasizing the MPs' belief that Wontumi's detention is unwarranted. He further criticized the 50 million cedi justification for the detention as unreasonable and onerous. The march highlights the ongoing political tensions in Ghana and underscores the concerns surrounding Wontumi's arrest and detention.

The situation remains unresolved, and further developments are expected.
