NPP bigwig celebrate Chairman Wontumi's arrest
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that controvertial Ghanaian broadcaster Captain Smart dropped a bombshell accusation, claiming that a senior figure within the New Patriotic Party secretly celebrated the 20-year prison sentence handed to NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman Wontumi.
Speaking on his Onua Maakye television programme on Tuesday, July 22, 2026, Captain Smart alleged that this unnamed top NPP personality went as far as consuming alcohol in celebration of Wontumi's conviction, a detail the broadcaster found particularly striking given that the individual in question is a Muslim and therefore religiously prohibited from drinking.
Captain Smart stopped short of identifying the person by name, yet his description was specific enough to set tongues wagging across political and social media circles.
