The operation, conducted around 9:00 a.m., involved approximately 20 heavily armed personnel arriving in five vehicles.

Wontumi explained that despite his ill health, he personally obstructed their entry at his gate since they did not present a warrant.

He condemned the method used, insisting that a formal invitation would have been appropriate.

Wontumi is not someone you can't find when you are looking for him. Wontumi is not someone who will not come if you invite him. Wontumi is not someone who will fail to honour a court order. So why are you doing this?

Wontumi disclosed that he had previously received a police invitation and plans to comply on Monday, May 26, 2025.

He urged President John Dramani Mahama to intervene, stating,

I will plead with President Mahama that he should speak to those working for him.

The incident has drawn backlash, with figures such as Old Tafo MP Vincent Ekow Assafuah condemning the government for allegedly employing such measures to stifle dissent and weaken democratic principles.
