Ghana's Ashanti Regional PDP chief Wontumi appeared at CID over alleged illegal mining ties, facing scrutiny amid broader anti-galamsey efforts.
Bernard Antwi Boasiako, Ashanti Regional Chairman of Ghana’s New Patriotic Party and known as Chairman Wontumi, appeared before the CID on October 6, 2025, following a directive from Attorney General Dr. Dominic Ayine.
He is under investigation over alleged involvement in illegal mining through Akonta Mining Limited, with formal charges signed and a prior warning of arrest if he failed to comply.
The probe, delayed by missing documents from the previous administration, is part of broader efforts to combat galamsey.
Wontumi denies any wrongdoing.
In a related development, the Economic and Organised Crime Office seized 15 luxury vehicles linked to him, sparking debate over political motives versus accountability.
Meanwhile, former Attorney General Godfred Dame also appeared at the CID over allegations of evidence fabrication in the ambulance procurement case, which he denies, calling the claims politically driven.
