“Do you know that Martin Amidu smokes a lot of weed? Oh yes I am telling you. This is coming from Wontumi.

If he challenges me, I will take him to the hospital for them to conduct a test on his blood. When I am speaking, I state facts as Wontumi”, he said.

Chairman Wontumi made these serious allegations whiles speaking on his private owned Wontumi Radio on Thursday morning.

Meanwhile, Martin Amidu has resigned his post as the Special Prosecutor. He laid down his tool on November 16, 2020 after issuing a letter to the office of the President.

In a letter addressed to Nana Akufo-Addo, Mr Martin Alamisi Burnes Kaiser Amidu charged the president to find a suitable replacement for him.

“The one condition upon which I accepted to be nominated as the Special Prosecutor when you invited me to your Office on 10th January 2018 was your firm promise to me that you will respect and ensure same by your Government for my independence and freedom of action as the Special Prosecutor,” he stated.
