Chairman Wontumi granted bail
The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Ashanti Regional
Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as
Chairman Wontumi, has been granted bail in the sum
of GHc 20,000 with two sureties.

The case of assault brought against him has thus
been adjourned to June 1.

Chairman Wontumi was arraigned today [Wednesday]
for allegedly assaulting the NPP Member of
Parliament for Manhyia North, Collins Amankwah and
his Constituency Secretary.

The NPP Regional Chairman subsequently turned
himself in to the Police on Tuesday after he was
declared wanted by the Criminal Investigations
Department (CID).

He pleaded not guilty to the charges of assault
leveled against him when he appeared before the
Asokwa Magistrate Court in Kumasi.

Meanwhile in the latest twist to the event, the
Manhyia North MP and the Constituency Secretary,
have written to the court seeking a withdrawal of
the case from court.
