He successfully met the bail conditions. Africa Publicity understands that at least three mining-related charges are expected to be preferred against Wontumi on Tuesday, October 7, 2025. The charges are to be preferred against him at the High Court in Accra.
He was invited to the CID headquarters in Accra on Monday for questioning over his alleged involvement in illegal mining activities.
