The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has allegedly cursed the Kokosohene, Nana Kwaku Duah, with ‘Antoa’ deity.

A few days ago, Wontumi caused a similar stir by launching an unprovoked attack on the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

He said he would challenge Otumfuo if he disagreed on an issue with the Asante King. Besides, he is reported to have passed some bad remarks about Otumfuo in the presence of some prominent people, including the Kokosohene.

Cursing Incident

Credible reports indicate that Wontumi also cursed the Kokosohene to the hearing of the NPP General Secretary, Lawyer Justin Kodua.

Justin Kodua, who was concerned about the report of Wontumi’s attack on Otumfuo, had called the Kokosohene on phone to verify the authenticity of the news.

During the phone conversation, the NPP scribe decided to add Wontumi through a conference call for his comment on the controversial issue.

Justin Kodua was, however, stunned when Wontumi, after hearing the voice of Kokosohene, suddenly became angry and started to rain curses on him.

Wontumi, who was said to be extremely angry and panting for breath, allegedly cursed the Kokosohene with the ‘Antoa’ deity and other river gods.

The Kokosohene, who has confirmed the cursing incident, said Wontumi prayed the river deities to strike him (Kokosohene) dead without provocation.

“I’m extremely surprised at Wontumi’s arrogant and weird behaviour. He just started to rain curses on me when he heard my voice on the phone.

“Justin Kodua had called me on phone to verify the authenticity of Wontumi’s attack on Otumfuo and also asked about steps he should take to plead on behalf of Wontumi at the Manhyia Palace. Surprisingly, Wontumi rather started to curse me with river deities when he heard my voice on the phone.

“He cursed me with about seven river deities, including ‘Antoa’, to strike me dead and use my wife and children as thanksgiving,” Nana Kwaku Duah claimed, adding that “even Justin Kodua was speechless about Wontumi’s action.”

Nana Kwaku Duah said he suspected Wontumi thought he (Kokosohene) reported his (Wontumi’s) attack on Otumfuo to the Manhyia Palace, hence his (Wontumi’s) decision to curse him.

He said since Otumfuo had banned cursing with river deities in Asanteman, he would officially report the case at the Asantehemaa Palace for an appropriate action to be taken against Wontumi.
