Chairman Wontumi’s Tema mansion draws attention after officials visit for valuation

New footage of Chairman Wontumi’s large pink mansion in Tema has circulated online, putting the former NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman’s property back in the spotlight as he remains in detention amid legal proceedings. The video shows a multi-storey building with a pink exterior, white columns and decorative details. It also captures a broad driveway and a spacious compound. The property is described as a six-bedroom residence in Tema Community 12. The footage appeared after officers from the Economic and Organised Crime Office, alongside Lands Commission officials, visited the house. According to the report, they took measurements and geographical coordinates as part of a formal valuation exercise. The visit followed a court-confirmed freezing order covering the mansion and other assets linked to Wontumi. Rumours had circulated that EOCO officers raided and ransacked the residence while members of Wontumi’s family were at home. The report does not describe the valuation visit as a raid, instead presenting it as a procedural step connected to the court order. The size and appearance of the house have prompted online discussion about Wontumi’s wealth, particularly in light of his current legal difficulties. The video provides a view of the property’s exterior, while the report offers no further details about its value or the outcome of the assessment. The article also recalls a recent visit to Wontumi at Nsawam Medium Prisons by Oheneba Nana Asiedu, who said the detained politician appeared healthy and in good spirits. That visit came after Abronye DC claimed Wontumi was seriously ill in detention. Prison authorities, the report says, were investigating an alleged poisoning plot.
