Wontumi faked his illness at EOCO — Former NPP man

Wontumi faked his illness during questioning by EOCO — Former NPP member

A former member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Solomon Owusu, now a senior communications official with the Movement for Change, has accused Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, of faking illness during questioning by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

According to Owusu, Chairman Wontumi deliberately pretended to be ill after being interrogated for hours by EOCO on Tuesday, May 27, 2025. The Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman was reportedly taken to the hospital following the session.

Wontumi’s lawyer, Andy Appiah Kubi, who was the only person granted access to him during EOCO’s investigation, stated:

“My client has been taken to the hospital. He’s receiving treatment, so he’ll be there until the doctor discharges him.”

However, Solomon Owusu dismissed the health scare as a calculated move to avoid scrutiny.

“I was at Prempeh College with Wontumi, and I was very surprised that he feigned illness yesterday. It’s becoming all too common; this is his modus operandi. The last time he was summoned to the Manhyia Palace, he pretended to be ill as well.”

Highlighting inconsistencies in the timeline, Owusu further explained, “This man drove himself to the CID headquarters, and while driving back, was suddenly picked up by EOCO—and now he’s sick? How can someone fall ill so suddenly?

He added: “I heard his lawyer on another network saying they applied for bail at EOCO, which was granted, but they couldn’t meet the conditions by evening. So what did he do? Pretend to be sick. If he claims he’s ill, where would they take him? To a hospital—and not just any hospital, a first-class one.”

The development comes as Chairman Wontumi faces new legal trouble, having been served a writ of summons from Exim Bank Ghana shortly after his EOCO interrogation, intensifying the spotlight on his business dealings and political conduct.

Meanwhile, Kennedy Agyapong, a high-profile NPP figure and former presidential aspirant, was spotted at EOCO headquarters a day later, where he was seen interacting with officers, fueling speculation about internal dynamics within the NPP.
