“At the moment, EOCO has taken close to 15 of my cars, but I have decided not to speak. The vehicles are in EOCO’s custody. I bought them from Bright Selby at Asylum Down near the NPP office. He registered them, paid the duties, and did everything. My Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and others are all there. I have been quiet because I know that at the right time, God will intervene and speak for me,” Wontumi said while speaking to Omanhene Kwabena Asante of Adom FM.
