Wontumi Tells Ghanaians The Truth About EOCO

The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has reportedly seized 15 luxury cars linked to Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Among the vehicles impounded are a Rolls-Royce and a Bentley — details that Wontumi himself has confirmed. The move, said to be part of an ongoing probe, has generated massive public interest due to Wontumi’s political prominence.

Although EOCO has not yet issued an official statement explaining the seizure, it is believed to relate to investigations involving financial irregularities or the source of the assets in question. Chairman Wontumi has condemned the action, describing it as excessive and an attempt to tarnish his image. He insists that the vehicles were legitimately purchased and hinted that the investigation may be politically driven.

The development has triggered widespread debate across the country. Supporters of Wontumi view the seizure as a politically motivated attempt to weaken his influence within the ruling party, while others applaud EOCO’s actions as evidence of growing efforts to promote accountability among public figures. Legal experts note that such confiscations are standard during financial crime investigations to preserve evidence or prevent the disposal of questionable assets. The fate of the vehicles will depend on EOCO’s findings.

Meanwhile, the incident has revived national discussions on corruption, transparency, and unexplained wealth among politicians. As Ghanaians await EOCO’s official clarification, the case continues to dominate headlines and intensify scrutiny over both the agency’s investigation and Chairman Wontumi’s financial dealings.
