NPP alleges political persecution after ‘Adenta Kumi’, Wontumi incidents

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has issued a strongly worded statement accusing the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government of politically motivated persecution of its members, citing recent arrests and police actions as evidence of what it calls a “growing pattern” of harassment.

In a press release issued Friday and signed by General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, the NPP condemned what it described as the “misuse of state security institutions” to target opposition figures, warning that such actions pose a threat to Ghana’s democratic governance.

According to the statement, Alfred Ababio Kumi, popularly known as “Adenta Kumi,” was arrested early Friday morning by heavily armed operatives believed to be from the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB). The NPP claims that six of the arresting officers were masked and wielding AK-47 rifles when they entered Mr. Kumi’s residence.

The party links the arrest to Mr. Kumi’s recent petition to President John Dramani Mahama calling for the dissolution of the committee reviewing petitions against Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.

“The response of the state has been to silence the whistleblower through intimidation and force,” the statement read, describing the arrest as “a clear affront to democratic accountability.”

In a separate incident also highlighted in the release, the NPP said armed officers appeared at the residence of its Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi-Boasiako (also known as Chairman Wontumi), despite an ongoing correspondence with the Criminal Investigations Department (CID). The party claims Wontumi had communicated his unavailability to meet the original May 21 summons and proposed May 26 instead due to medical reasons.

The NPP characterized the two incidents as “political harassment” and part of a broader campaign of intimidation.

“These developments represent a calculated pattern of abuse of state power designed to weaken opposition voices and erode the democratic fabric of our nation,” the party said.

The party urged civil society and the general public to speak out against what it described as acts of political persecution.
