Chairman Wontumi has been rearrested by the Ghana Police amid an ongoing investigation into a controversial $55 million road contract suspected to involve fraudulent practices. The arrest occurred shortly after he voluntarily appeared at the police headquarters for further questioning.
Earlier in the day, Wontumi showed up at the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) office, demanding clarification on the serious allegations linked to a road construction project associated with one of his companies. Reports indicate that his legal team engaged in intense talks with security officials over procurement irregularities tied to the deal.
The contract has sparked public outcry, with many questioning the legitimacy of the process through which it was awarded. Legal experts and political analysts have raised concerns over a lack of transparency, suggesting that public funds may have been misused or diverted.
Wontumi’s arrest has generated strong reactions. Supporters from the New Patriotic Party (NPP), particularly those loyal to his leadership, claim the move is politically motivated and aimed at weakening his influence ahead of the next election. They argue that state security agencies are being used to target prominent figures within the party. However, opposition voices insist that the investigation is justified and that all those involved in financial misconduct must be held accountable.

Responding to the allegations, Wontumi described them as baseless and politically driven. He maintained that all his business dealings comply with the law and vowed to clear his name. His legal representatives have promised to challenge the arrest and ensure due process is followed.
The case has become a major talking point nationwide and could carry serious consequences for Wontumi’s political career if found guilty. As the investigation unfolds, Ghanaians continue to monitor developments, demanding truth and accountability in one of the country’s most high-profile corruption cases.
