A criminal court in Accra has ordered Bernard Antwi Boasiako to start his defense. He is on trial for a mining-related offense.
The court heard that two people were mining on Wontumi's concession. This happened without the necessary ministerial approval.
The judge made the decision after the prosecution presented their case. The court found enough evidence to proceed.
Wontumi now has the chance to present his side of the story. He must explain why he believes he is not guilty.
This case relates to allegations of illegal mining activities.
The trial continues as the court seeks to determine the facts.
