Paul Yandoh, the Ashanti Regional Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said money cannot be sent to Chairman Wontumi through mobile money.
According to Paul Yandoh, Chairman Wontumi is going through a lot, and when money is sent to him on MoMo, it reverses back to the sender.
He further alleged that one cannot reach Wontumi through a normal call unless through a WhatsApp call.
If you send MoMo to Wontumi, MTN reverses it back to you. I am telling you, they have frozen Wontumi’s MoMo with no transaction. They reverse the money and tell you not to send money to that number anymore.
Even recently, I got some 500 cedis I wanted to send to the Chairman, but when I sent it, the money reversed back. I have not seen that before.
He added, “Wontumi has been deprived of a lot. His MoMo is not working, even if you want to speak to Wontumi, unless you call him through WhatsApp call, they even want to take his number from him.
In a separate interview, speaking on Wontumi TV on Friday, October 17, 2025, Paul Yandoh lamented that Wontumi momo was frozen, saying “… Do you know that Chairman Wontumi’s Mobile Money wallet has been frozen? He cannot send nor receive money.
What Wontumi is going through is more than what Job went through in the Bible. This must be condemned by Ghanaians”.
Meanwhile, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has filed an application at the High Court seeking to unfreeze his bank accounts.
It will be recalled, the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) froze the bank accounts of Chairman Wontumi following the prosecution into his engagement in illegal mining.
Appiah-Kubi, a former Member of Parliament for Asante Akim North and lawyer for Wontumi, stated, “Today, we are going to move an application to defreeze [the accounts].”
