A radio presenter with Wontumi Radio, Oheneba Asiedu, has stated that the Ashanti Regional Chairman for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Bosiako(Chairman Wontumi), consumed a significant portion of the poisoned guinea fowl meat (akomfem), unlike the late deputy finance Minister, John Kumah.
Oheneba Aseidu who is a close associate of Chairman Wontumi, explained that Wontumi ended up eating the majority of the meat as a result of hunger.
According to him, Wontumi, John Kumah and others were in Tamale to support Vice president, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign.
However, Wontumi and the others got home exhausted and hungry.
He revealed that, a few minutes after their arrival at Mariam Hotel, a stranger presented the poisoned meal specifically for the deputy finance minister, John Kumah, and Wontumi.
However, John Kumah only ate a small portion, unlike the latter.
Oheneba Asiedu disclosed that after finishing their meal, Wontumi attempted to contact him without success.
After seeing his missed calls he rushed to Wontumi’s door and knocked over three minutes, emphasizing that when Wontumi eventually opened the door, he was in his boxer shorts and had vomited extensively throughout his room, including the bed, floor, and washroom.
“On 22nd October Myself, Wontumi, John Kumah and Kwaku Marfo were at Tamale to assist Dr. Bawumia over there with his campaign. When we got to Mariam Hotel, someone brought them akonfeh and they ate it.
“At 1am Chairman called my phone fifteen (15) times and when I returned his calls, he couldn’t pick up. I knocked his door for more than 3 minutes and when he finally came to open the door, he was in his boxer shorts and had vomited all over the place- on his bed, floor and the washroom”, Oheneba Nana Asiedu said.
“John Kumah told me he only ate small portion of the meat (akonfeh) but Chairman ate a lot,” he added.
