The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has issued a stern warning to those linking him to a recent market burning incident in the Ashanti Region.

Chairman Wontumi has vehemently denied any involvement in the alleged burn market contract and has threatened to take legal action against anyone who mentions his name in connection with the incident.

According to reports, a suspect connected to the market burning scheme is a close associate of Chairman Wontumi, prompting speculation about his involvement.

However, Chairman Wontumi has dismissed the allegations as “palpable false” and warned that he will sue anyone who continues to spread the rumor.

“I know nothing about this,” Chairman Wontumi stated.

“Whoever mentions my name shall be sued in court”, he stressed.
