The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has withdrawn his motion challenging the conditions of his bail.
The motion, which was filed at the High Court in Accra on May 30, 2025, was scheduled to be heard on Tuesday, June 3.
However, his legal team formally withdrew the application on Monday, June 2, ahead of the hearing.
Chairman Wontumi had sought a review of the GH¢50 million bail imposed by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), arguing through his lawyers that the amount was excessive and could potentially obstruct his release.
The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP has been in the custody of the EOCO since May 28, 2025, for alleged involvement in multiple criminal offences, including fraud, causing financial loss to the state, and money laundering.
Deputy Attorney General, Justice Srem-Sai, has revealed that a second phase of the investigation reportedly links Wontumi to a wider international organised crime syndicate
