Chairman Wontumi is reportedly set to sue the Economic and Organised Crime Office following his controversial arrest. According to Paul Yandoh, a close associate of Wontumi, the lawsuit will specifically target EOCO boss Raymond, alleging procedural violations and mistreatment during the arrest.

The circumstances surrounding the incident have raised eyebrows. Yandoh claims that after Wontumi was released from the Police CID office, he was told he could go home. However, just as he stepped outside, EOCO operatives allegedly surrounded him, leading to his unexpected detention. This turn of events has fueled concerns about the legality of EOCO’s actions and whether due process was followed.

Reports indicate that Wontumi endured harsh conditions during his stay in EOCO custody. Yandoh claims that Wontumi went six days without food, refusing meals provided by EOCO out of concern for their origin. There are also allegations that Wontumi suffered psychological distress, with some sources stating that he appeared frail and struggled to walk upon his release. These claims have intensified scrutiny on EOCO’s handling of the case.

The lawsuit against EOCO is expected to stir significant political debate, especially within the New Patriotic Party, where Wontumi holds a key position. His arrest has already drawn criticism from party members, with some calling the bail conditions—set at fifty million Ghanaian cedis with two sureties—excessive and politically motivated. Yandoh insists that Wontumi is innocent and has nothing to hide, emphasizing that legal action is necessary to hold EOCO accountable. He argues that the tactics used during the arrest were unjust and that Wontumi should not have been subjected to such treatment.

As preparations for the lawsuit unfold, many are closely watching how the case develops. If it proceeds, it could trigger a broader discussion on the conduct of EOCO and how state agencies handle investigations involving prominent political figures. Wontumi and his legal team remain committed to seeing the matter through, determined to challenge what they perceive as an infringement on his rights. The public awaits further developments in this legal battle.
