A judge has ordered a man identified as Chairman Wontumi to provide his defense in a galamsey case. This decision came after his lawyers argued he had no case to answer.
The court disagreed with this argument. The trial concerns illegal mining activities.
These activities took place at a concession in Samreboi. The judge ruled that there is enough evidence for Wontumi to present his side.
The case will now proceed to the defense stage. The court did not provide a date for the next hearing.
