An Accra High Court has found Chairman Wontumi and his company, Akonta Mining, guilty of illegal mining.

The court's decision was made on Monday, July 20.

The conviction stems from illegal mining activities at his concession in Samreboi, located in the Western Region.

This ruling follows charges related to illegal mining offences.

The court has therefore convicted the individuals and the company.

Further details on the sentencing are expected.
