Chairman Wontumi debunks arrest claims by Owusu Bempah

Wontumi, a prominent figure within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has dismissed allegations that his party orchestrated the detention, stating unequivocally that the claims are unfounded.

This controversy stems from a public statement made by Reverend Owusu Bempah, where he suggested that certain individuals within the NPP were behind his arrest.

His claims implied that political forces played a role in the actions taken by the Ghana Police.

However, Wontumi was quick to respond, explaining that the arrest had been carried out solely by the police, without interference from the party.

He further clarified that even the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, had no involvement in the situation, quelling rumors that political figures were manipulating law enforcement for personal or partisan reasons.

Wontumi went on to express his unwavering loyalty to the NPP, emphasizing that he holds the party in such high regard that he would never take any action to damage its reputation.

He stressed that the pastor’s statements were misleading and warned against attempts to entangle the party in false allegations.

The situation has garnered widespread attention, raising concerns over the growing tensions between political figures and religious leaders in the country.

As this issue continues to unfold, many are left questioning whether this will further strain relations between the church and state or if it will remain an isolated incident of misunderstanding.

Observers are now watching closely to see how both parties will handle the fallout from these accusations and how the public will respond to Wontumi’s decisive rebuttal.
