Wontumi Shares Cell With 50 Inmates at Nsawam Prison Sleeps on Half a Student Mattress – Paul Yandoh

Political commentator Paul Yandoh has claimed that Ashanti Regional New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, is sharing a prison cell with about 50 other inmates at Nsawam Prison and sleeping on half of a student mattress.

Yandoh made the allegation while describing what he claimed were the living conditions of the prominent politician at the correctional facility, drawing attention to the alleged overcrowding and limited sleeping arrangements in the cell where Wontumi is reportedly being held.

According to Yandoh, the NPP regional chairman is accommodated in a cell with dozens of other inmates, leaving him with limited space and an unusual sleeping arrangement involving a student mattress that has reportedly been divided into two.

“Chairman Wontumi shares a prison cell with 50 other inmates at Nsawam Prison and sleeps on a student mattress that has been divided into two,” Yandoh claimed while describing the politician’s alleged conditions in custody.

The statement suggests that Wontumi is facing living conditions that differ considerably from the comfort and lifestyle he may have been accustomed to outside prison, although the specific details of the allegation have not been independently confirmed.

Wontumi is a prominent figure within the NPP and has served as the party’s Ashanti Regional Chairman, a position that has placed him among the influential political personalities in the region.

His political activities and public profile have made developments concerning him a subject of interest, particularly when claims emerge about his personal circumstances or treatment while in custody.

Yandoh’s comments also raise broader questions about accommodation and sleeping arrangements in Ghana’s correctional facilities, where adequate space and basic necessities are important aspects of inmate welfare.

Prison overcrowding can affect access to sleeping space, sanitation and other essential facilities, making the management of inmates an important issue for correctional authorities.

However, Yandoh’s specific claims about Wontumi sharing a cell with approximately 50 inmates and sleeping on half of a student mattress remain allegations attributed to the commentator rather than independently verified facts.

The description provided by Yandoh centres on the alleged conditions under which the politician is being accommodated at Nsawam Prison, particularly the number of inmates reportedly sharing his cell and the mattress he is said to use.

His statement has therefore placed the alleged living arrangements of the NPP regional chairman at the centre of attention, with the claims remaining subject to confirmation from reliable sources.
