The raid, which took place early Friday morning, involved security agents arriving with a search warrant but ultimately failing to enter his residence.
Chairman Wontumi described the move as a politically charged attempt to intimidate him, linking it directly to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and President John Mahama.
He suggested the operation was part of a broader campaign targeting his political activities.
Speaking on his radio station, Wontumi questioned the justification for the raid, asking, “Am I not a Ghanaian anymore? Now that you’ve won the election and become President, does that mean I’m no longer a Ghanaian?”
He urged Ghanaians and supporters of the NPP to stand against what he described as government harassment. “Ghanaians, rise! Arise, Ghanaians! All NPP supporters should rise. It is because of you that Mahama is treating me this way,” he said passionately.
Wontumi emphasized that his role is purely political, without any state appointment or public office to warrant such actions.
He recalled previous challenges, alleging deliberate attempts to undermine him, including business setbacks and frozen bank accounts since the current government took power.
This incident has generated widespread discussion within political circles, raising questions about the timing and motives behind the National Security’s actions.
Supporters of Wontumi view the raid as an effort to silence a prominent opposition figure ahead of crucial political engagements.
