According to sources, Chairman Wontumi is also being investigated in connection with a broader international organised crime network. The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is working in collaboration with global law enforcement agencies on this aspect of the probe.
Wontumi’s arrest by EOCO earlier this week is tied to allegations involving illegal mining and other financial irregularities. While EOCO has yet to issue a comprehensive public statement, the case has already drawn significant national attention.
As the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), the investigation has major political implications and is being closely watched by the public and party loyalists alike.
Further updates will be provided as the case unfolds.
