The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has withdrawn his motion regarding the conditions of his bail.
Initially filed at the High Court in Accra on May 30, 2025, the motion was set to be heard on June 3, 2025.
However, his legal representatives took the step of formally withdrawing the application on June 2, just before the scheduled hearing.
Chairman Wontumi was contesting the GH¢50 million bail imposed by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), asserting that the figure was excessive and a hindrance to his release.
Since May 28, 2025, he has been in EOCO custody due to alleged involvement in multiple criminal activities, including fraud, causing financial loss to the state, and money laundering.
Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem-Sai has indicated that fresh findings in the investigation may connect Wontumi to a larger international organised crime syndicate.
