“I know where he is, but I am not going to disclose the hospital. But all that I can say is that my client has been taken to the hospital for medical treatment,” lawyer Andy Appiah Kubi spoke to the media.
He continued to say that the interrogation of Chairman Wontumi by the EOCO hasn’t come to an end. “We have given our statements. They made some allegations against him, and he responded to them. We haven’t finished with the interrogation, so we will come back to continue hopefully [Wednesday] if his condition improves. Otherwise, he will stay there until the doctors discharge him, then we come back to continue the interrogation,” he explained.
