A press conference unfolded outside the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) headquarters in Ghana on May 30, 2025, where a group of New Patriotic Party (NPP) officials, including Hon. Afenyo Markins and KT Hammond, rallied to secure the release of Chairman Wontumi. The event was captured on video and quickly spread across social media. The video features a speaker who criticizes the lack of response from religious leaders to the ongoing situation in Ghana's mining regions. "Where are the pastors?" he questions, highlighting the perceived silence of religious figures in the face of significant issues.
