The morning show host of Wontumi Tv and Radio, Oheneba Nana Asiedu, has provided details of how Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, was taken care of after being poisoned while assisting Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia's campaign in Tamale.

Oheneba noted that on October 23, he woke up at dawn to see 15 missed calls from Chairman Wontumi after he ate 'poisoned' Guinea fowl meat with the late Deputy Finance Minister Dr John Kumah. He then proceeded to his place (Modern Hotel) to find out the issue after failing to reach him via phone.

"I woke up around 1 am check on what Chairman would wear. I had seen Chairman’s calls about 15 of them. I tried calling. I asked Marfo if he had gotten calls from Chairman. He saw 2 missed calls and tried reaching Chairman but no response. So I went to Chairman’s place."

He revealed that he knocked for about 3 to 5 minutes until Chairman Wontumi came to open the door.

When Chairman opened the door, he was just in boxers and not in a good state, he said.

"You could tell he had crawled and opened the door. He had thrown up on his bed and the ground. He had vomited in the washroom."

Oheneba said he reached out to a member of Dr Bawumia's team, who got some members of the Vice President's medical team to assist.

"I called Kamar, he is part of Bawumia’s team. So he called someone. So a top doctor of Bawumia and two other nurses came.

Instantly, they placed about 7 drips of water on Chairman and injected him," he said, adding that "I heard the doctor say they suspect food poisoning and so they are going to treat them on food poisoning."

According to him, John Kumah felt he was okay, so he was not treated.

"It was only Chairman who was treated. John Kumah's reaction was not like Chairman's," he reiterated.

But it took the next day for John Kumah to call for assistance as he saw his condition worsen.
