Reactions As Five Inmates Allegedly Plot Against Wontumi, Matter Reaches Authorities

A report alleging that five inmates were planning to poison Chairman Wontumi has triggered widespread reactions among Ghanaians on social media. The matter was reportedly reported to authorities at Nsawam Prison, where the political figure is being held.

TV3 Ghana reported on October 28, 2026, that Dr. Palgrave Boakye-Danquah, Wontumi’s spokesperson, disclosed that the Chairman had received information about the alleged plan. According to him, the issue had been formally brought to the attention of prison officials.

The disclosure prompted concern among some members of the public, with supporters praying for Wontumi’s safety and calling for measures to protect him. Other users raised questions about security within Ghana’s prisons and asked whether the Chairman had suffered any harm.

Meanwhile, sceptics challenged the allegation, arguing that the reported threat had not been substantiated. Some dismissed the story, while others used humour to express their doubts. The discussion also prompted debate over how prison authorities should respond and whether the situation could affect Wontumi’s detention.

The reactions reflect the public interest surrounding the outspoken political figure and the contrasting views that often emerge over issues involving him.

Despite the online debate, the alleged poisoning plot has not been independently verified. The appropriate authorities should establish the facts, investigate any credible threat and ensure the safety and wellbeing of all inmates without drawing conclusions before the evidence is assessed.
