The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party Bernard Antwi Boasiako popularly known as Chairman Wontumi is reportedly struggling to secure the services of a lawyer in his defamation case against Engineers and Planners Chief Executive Ibrahim Mahama.
According to sources, several lawyers approached by the NPP kingpin both in Accra and Kumasi to handle the case have been reluctant to take it on. It is unclear why the lawyers are not taking up the case despite the self-confessed wealth of the outspoken politician.
When the case was called today, Wontumi, who has opted to represent himself in court, did not show up forcing the judge to adjourn to December 2, 2020.
Businessman Ibrahim Mahama in July this year sued maverick politician Bernard Antwi Boasiako popularly known as Chairman Wontumi for defamation.
The popular businessman is among other things demanding a GHC5 million compensation for the damages caused him by the Ashanti regional chair of the ruling party.
