An Accra High Court has ordered Bernard Antwi Boasiako, the New Patriotic Party Ashanti regional chairman, to present his defence in a legal case. He is accused of illegal mining on his concession.
The court issued this directive on Monday, March 16. The case concerns activities at his mining site in Samreboi, located in the Western Region.
Chairman Wontumi and his company, Akonta Mining, are involved in this legal proceeding. The court's decision means the defence will now present its side of the story.
Further details on the legal proceedings and the evidence to be presented are expected as the case moves forward.
