Wontumi’s GH¢50m Treasury Bills Under Threat

According to a report by TV3Gh, on Saturday October 31, 2026, the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is seeking the confiscation of assets belonging to New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, as part of ongoing legal proceedings involving his assets.

Among the properties and investments being targeted are an estimated GH¢50 million in Treasury Bills as well as the mining concession linked to Akonta Mining, a company associated with the outspoken political figure.

The move represents a significant development in the legal and financial matters surrounding Chairman Wontumi, who has remained at the centre of public attention over issues connected to his business interests and alleged activities.

EOCO’s attempt to secure the confiscation of the assets signals a further escalation in efforts by state authorities to examine properties and investments connected to the NPP stalwart.

The outcome of the proceedings could have major implications for the ownership and control of the assets listed in the application.

The inclusion of the GH¢50 million Treasury Bills has particularly drawn attention, given the substantial value of the investment.

EOCO is also seeking action against the Akonta Mining concession, placing one of the most prominent business interests associated with Chairman Wontumi under renewed scrutiny.

The development comes amid continuing public interest in cases involving the politician and businessman.

Any confiscation of the assets, however, would be subject to the appropriate legal processes and decisions of the relevant authorities or courts.

Chairman Wontumi, a prominent figure within the NPP, has built a strong political profile in the Ashanti Region while also maintaining extensive interests in business, including mining.

As EOCO pursues its case, attention is expected to focus on the legal arguments surrounding the Treasury Bills, the Akonta Mining concession and other assets that may be affected by the proceedings.

The latest move adds another chapter to the ongoing legal challenges facing the NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman, with the final outcome likely to attract significant public and political interest.
