NPP Supporters Clash with Police in Ghana, Demanding Release of Chairman Wontumi Accra, Ghana – Tensions flared in Accra today as supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) engaged in a protest outside the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) headquarters. The demonstration centered on the demand for the immediate release of Chairman Wontumi, a prominent figure within the party. The video footage shows a large group of protestors, many wearing red, sitting on the ground in what appears to be a sit-in demonstration. The atmosphere is charged with emotion, and the protestors' chants are audible. One eyewitness, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, "We're not leaving until Chairman Wontumi is freed. This is an injustice, and we will not stand for it." Another protestor, identified as Kwame, added, "They're holding him without just cause. We demand his immediate release and an end to this political persecution." Police presence was significant, and while there were reports of minor scuffles, no major incidents of violence were reported as of press time. EOCO officials have yet to release an official statement regarding the ongoing protest and the detention of Chairman Wontumi. The situation remains tense, and further developments are expected in the coming hours.
