You’re a Pharisee and an enemy of Ghana — Wontumi attacks Anas

Ashanti Regional Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako affectionately called Chairman Wontumi has descended heavily on Ghana’s undercover investigative Journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas over his latest work dubbed “Galamsey Fraud”, MyNewsGh.com reports.

Wontumi’s aide Mr. Andy Owusu has been captured in the video allegedly receiving bribes from the undercover investigators to influence some underhand dealings which may have informed his anger.

It appears the NPP executive is not too happy about the development and on Thursday on Accra-based Okay FM monitored by MyNewsGh.com described the journalist as ‘fraud, a thief and a nation wrecker’ who will stop at nothing but seek to destroy hardworking and innocent Ghanaians.

He expressed doubt about the credibility of Anas and called on the Editor-In-Chief of the New Crusading Guide, Abdul Malik Kweku Jnr to call his boy to order before he collapses the country with the trend of happenings.

Wontumi who in time past was alleged to be engaged in illegal mining was heard on the show saying “Anas is not credible – he has been doctoring all the interviews he has with victims to blackmail them… we are aware of his criminal activities…duping people and encouraging corruption for his own benefit.




“This is nonsense and must be stopped immediately. Anas is fake and I call on Kwaku Baako to do something about him. “I think Anas is an enemy and a Pharisee to the state”, an angry Wontumi charged.

Meanwhile, Mr. Andy Owusu who is an aide to the NPP chairman and claims he is highly connected in the ruling NPP Government is reported to have taken a forward payment of GHS 5000 for himself and led the investigators to meet Charles Bissue.

“And you haven’t also given anything to Bissiw. No, no. You can go to him and say Andy asked me to bring you this, that’s different. That will make him feel comfortable. But I don’t want you to say that you’ve given Bissiw money. Do you understand what I’m saying?” Andy warned. “And don’t also tell someone that you gave him something when you came here”, he said after our first meeting with Bissue.

According to the video, Andy Owusu took GH¢ 5000 on three occasions, amounting to GHS 15000 including the first GHS 5000 as part payments of his GHS 50000 charge which was later bargained to GHS 40000 in another meeting.
