A judge at Criminal Court 4 in Accra has told Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Wontumi, that he must now defend himself in a court case. This order came after the judge looked at what the prosecution presented.
The case involves accusations that Mr. Boasiako permitted two individuals to carry out mining activities on his concession. This happened without receiving the necessary approval from the government ministries.
The court's decision means the trial will move to the next stage, where Mr. Boasiako will have the chance to respond to the charges.
This legal action follows investigations into mining operations that may not have followed required regulations.
