    The beleaguered Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman Wontumi has with a thankful heart expressed gratitude to the former Minister of Food and Agriculture, Dr Bryan Acheampong for facilitating his release from the custody of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

    Chairman Wontumi was released by EOCO on Monday, June 2, 2025 after being arrested on May 27spending close to a week in custody under investigation for serious allegations including fraud, money laundering, and causing financial loss to the state.

    Wontumi was granted a GH₵50 million bail with two sureties. However, he stayed in custody for six days as his bail conditions could not be met.

    It took the intervention of Bryan Acheampong a wealthy businessman and Member of Parliament for Abetifi to secure Wontumi’s release after the former presented the necessary documents to meet the GH₵50 million bail requirement.

    Speaking to journalists, the former minister emphasized solidarity and party unity as the driving force behind his action.

    “It serves us no good. What is important is that one of us was in trouble. He was arrested, and we needed, as part of the legal process, to provide surety for bail, which has been done. He has been released, and now we wait for the next steps,” he stated.

    Chairman Wontumi in a video shared on social media platform X, on Tuesday June 3, returned to his benefactor to thank him for his kindness.

    Referencing the men with leprosy in the Bible who were cured by Jesus but did not return to thank Him, Wontumi said he cannot be ungrateful after Bryan Acheampong has secured his release.

    “Showing gratitude is very important in life, even Jesus acknowledges that. Jesus cured 10 persons with leprosy and after they were healed, only one returned to thank Him and He asked about the whereabouts of the rest. I can’t stay away without coming to show gratitude to you, even though you are my friend. I could have decided to call you on phone, but If I had not come to thank you, it wouldn’t have shown that I cherish what you’ve done for me and it would also amount to disrespecting you. When it gets to the time that I should relate to you as a brother, we’ll do things that brothers do. I have come here to say a very big thank you and also thank all party supporters for their show of love during the past few difficult days.”
