A court has given Kwabena Adu-Boahene a strict six-day deadline. He must either present his lawyer or defend himself in court.
This order came after Adu-Boahene's legal team failed to show up for his trial on Tuesday, August 11. The trial is for the continuation of his case.
Adu-Boahene is the former director of the National Signals Bureau. The court did not give a reason for the lawyers' absence.
The judge stressed the urgency of the matter. The six-day ultimatum means Adu-Boahene must act quickly.
Failure to comply could affect how the trial proceeds. The Judicial Service oversees such court proceedings.
The court's decision aims to prevent further delays in the trial.
