EOCO Inspects Chairman Wontumi’s Frozen Tema Property Ahead of Professional Valuation

Officials from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), together with representatives of the Lands Commission, have inspected a property belonging to NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, at Tema Community 12.

The inspection was conducted to obtain the property’s measurements and geographical coordinates as part of preparations for a professional valuation exercise.

The six-bedroom property, which has reportedly been frozen as part of ongoing investigations involving the politician, is among the assets attracting attention from investigators.

The involvement of the Lands Commission is expected to help establish the property’s precise location, physical characteristics and other relevant details required for an accurate valuation.

The exercise forms part of efforts to document the asset and determine its estimated market value, although the exact financial value of the property has not yet been disclosed.

EOCO’s action comes amid continuing investigations into matters involving Chairman Wontumi and his business interests. The freezing of the property has also generated political discussion, with representatives of the NPP regional chairman raising concerns about the impact of the investigative activities on his family.

Palgrave Boakye-Danquah, a special aide to Wontumi, previously claimed that an earlier visit by EOCO officials had caused distress to members of the family, including children and an elderly grandmother.

However, the latest inspection appears focused on the technical requirements for documenting and valuing the property.

The professional valuation could provide investigators with an assessment of the asset’s worth for purposes connected to the ongoing proceedings.

Further details about the investigation and the possible next steps involving the property are yet to be made public.
