Protest Erupts Outside BNI Headquarters in Ghana as NPP Figures Demand Chairman Wontumi's Release A protest unfolded outside the Bank of Ghana headquarters in Accra, Ghana, on June 1st, 2025, as key members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) rallied to secure the release of Chairman Wontumi. The demonstration, captured on video, featured prominent figures including Dr. Bawumia, Hon. Afenyo Markins, and KT Hammond. The atmosphere was charged with tension as several individuals voiced their concerns about what they perceived as unfair and selective arrests by law enforcement. "The police rushed to arrest some, but not others," stated one protester, a man wearing a striped shirt, captured on video. "This is unfair and shows the police are not above the law." His words highlight the central issue of the protest: the perceived bias in the law enforcement's handling of the situation. The video footage shows a large crowd gathered, many recording the events on their phones. The presence of prominent political figures underscores the significance of the event within Ghana's political landscape. The protest raises questions about transparency and fairness in the legal process, highlighting the need for further investigation and clarification.
