Agradaa also described imprisonment as a painful experience for families, comparing it to the emotional impact of losing a loved one.

Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), was convicted by the Accra High Court over illegal mining-related offences.

In a judgment delivered on 20 July 2026, the court sentenced him to 20 years’ imprisonment after finding him and Akonta Mining Limited guilty on four charges.

The offences included assigning mineral rights without the approval of the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources and facilitating unauthorised mining activities on the company’s concession.

Delivering the judgment, Justice Audrey Kocuvie-Tay ruled that the prosecution had successfully established that Chairman Wontumi and Akonta Mining permitted Henry Okoom and Michael Gyedu Ayisi to undertake mining operations on the concession without obtaining the legally required ministerial approval.

The court held that their actions enabled illegal mining activities to take place, leading to their conviction.
