“Wontumi doesn’t like where he is”– Palgrave Boakye

Former Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, often referred to as Wontumi, is not pleased with his current situation in prison, according to his spokesperson, Dr. Palgrave Boakye. Despite rumors, she confirmed that Wontumi is indeed incarcerated at the Nsawam Prison. Dr. Boakye informed listeners of Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem that Wontumi was promptly taken to prison after all legal proceedings were concluded on the day of his sentencing.

She explained that prisoners are typically granted a week to arrange their affairs before beginning their sentences, but Wontumi was not given such a grace period. He is projected to serve three months in prison. Concerned about his ongoing detention, she raised questions about the decision, stating that he was charged with no case.

Dr. Boakye also noted that her client filed an appeal against the sentence, with a court appearance expected in the coming week. She expressed sadness over Wontumi’s predicament, particularly highlighting an incident during a legal vacation. During a Zoom hearing, the judge heard nine cases, with Wontumi scheduled to be the tenth, but the judge excused him due to purported health issues. The spokesperson expressed hope that the ongoing legal process might lead to a review of the situation.
