The Criminal Court 4 in Accra has instructed Bernard Antwi Boasiako to present his defence. He faces charges related to mining on his concession.
Wontumi is accused of permitting two individuals to mine without the required ministerial approval.
The court issued this order after the prosecution presented its case. The judge ruled that the prosecution had provided enough evidence.
This ruling means the trial will continue with Wontumi providing his side of the story.
The case involves allegations of illegal mining activities linked to his concession.
Further court proceedings will determine the outcome of the charges against him.
