Chairman Wontumi's Arrest Sparks Tensions in Ghana: The arrest of New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Chairman Wontumi, by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) has ignited political debate in Ghana. A video circulating online captures a supporter expressing outrage, claiming the arrest is an act of intimidation by the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC). "I’m bleeding, but the spirit of the elephant can’t be killed by the NDC," the speaker declares, using the NPP's elephant symbol. While the video's emotional tone requires careful verification, the arrest itself is confirmed by multiple news sources. The incident highlights ongoing political tensions in the country. Further investigation is needed to fully understand the context and charges against Chairman Wontumi. The event underscores the need for transparency and accountability in the Ghanaian legal system.
