Andy Appiah-Kubi, legal counsel for embattled Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako—popularly known as Chairman Wontumi—says the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) acted lawfully in arresting his client.

Wontumi was picked up by EOCO on Tuesday, shortly after being interrogated by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service in Accra.
