NPP Leaders Demand Release of Chairman Wontumi from EOCO

NPP Leaders Demand Release of Chairman Wontumi from EOCO Custody A tense scene unfolded outside the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) headquarters in Accra, Ghana on May 29, 2025, as several high-profile members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) arrived to demand the release of their party chairman, Kennedy Agyapong, also known as Chairman Wontumi. The group, which included Nana B, Annor Dompreh, Justice Kodua, Hon. Afenyo Markins, and KT Hammond, gathered outside the EOCO building, expressing their concerns about the arrest and detention of Chairman Wontumi. "We are here to ensure Chairman Wontumi's immediate release," stated one of the NPP leaders present. "His arrest is politically motivated and we will not stand idly by while injustice prevails." The reasons behind Chairman Wontumi's arrest remain unclear, though reports suggest it may be related to ongoing investigations into alleged financial improprieties. The NPP leaders' intervention highlights the high political stakes involved and the deep divisions within Ghana's political landscape. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected.
