Paul Kwabena Yandoh, the Ashanti Regional Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has expressed his disappointment with Bryan Acheampong for allegedly refusing to assist in securing bail for Chairman Wontumi..
According to Yandoh, Bryan Acheampong has allegedly refused to secure bail for Chairman Wontumi, as he did when he was arrested by EOCO.
Paul Yandoh reminded the Member of Parliament for Abetifi that their shared enemy is the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and not NPP members.
Speaking to the media at the High Court on October 9, 2025, Paul Yandoh stated, “It shouldn’t have come to this because our common enemy is the NDC, not ourselves. It is unfortunate. As NPP members, we should support one another.
I have heard Bryan Acheampong say he won’t help bail Wontumi, and I think that’s unfortunate. Maybe one day, when I am rich, I can also help him if he finds himself in trouble, because no condition is permanent. We need to stand by each other”, he added.
However, Lead counsel Andy Appiah-Kubi for the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has revealed his client has met all his bail conditions.
Wontumi’s lawyer revealed his client is still in custody due to processing delays by state institutions.
Speaking in an interview on Joy News, Appiah-Kubi explained, “We have met all the bail conditions, but the processing of the order is what is delaying it. The execution requires verification of the properties and confirmation of their valuation, and those are handled by state institutions”.
“I’m told it has now been identified and the report is being sent to the registrar of the court”, he noted.
Andy Appiah-Kubi, in an earlier interview, had disclosed that the court granted Wontumi bail, but the process could not be completed before the close of the day yesterday, Tuesday.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, lead counsel Andy Appiah-Kubi stated, “We made an application for bail on Tuesday, and the court granted it with three sureties, two to be justified. We are processing the application, and by God’s grace, we have had people to sign the bail bond and stand as sureties”
“It was late after the court proceedings, so we couldn’t complete the process with the police and the court registrar. This morning, the police prosecutor, ASP Godwin, called to inform me that his men are ready to inspect the properties of the sureties so we can expedite the process,” he explained.
He added, “I really appreciate the effort of the police prosecutor for calling me to inform me they are ready. This is rare. I must also commend the court registrar, who is coincidentally also called Gordon, for his effort to expedite the process”
“I am very hopeful the processes will be finalised today, and Wontumi will be released,” he added.
Wontumi on Tuesday, October 7, was granted a ₵25 million bail by the Criminal Division of the Accra High Court in connection with two separate cases relating to alleged illegal mining.
