Asiedu alleged that the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Chairman Wontumi, and the late legislator were served the claimed poisoned meat during their stay in the same hotel in Tamale in the Northern Region on October 22, 2023.

Reports indicated that Captain Smart and his team said Oheneba, who they said was close to the late deputy finance minister, had validated the claims.

This development comes from a formal complaint made to the Accra Regional Police Command by the wife of the late Deputy Finance Minister Lilian Kumah.
