Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Wontumi, must now defend himself in court. He faces charges related to mining activities.
The Criminal Court 4 Division of the High Court in Accra issued the order. It says that people were mining on his concession without the required government approval.
The judge ruled that the prosecution had presented enough evidence. This means Mr. Boasiako must now present his side of the story.
The specific details of the mining operation and the alleged lack of ministerial approval form the basis of the charges.
This legal action follows an investigation into mining activities on a concession linked to Mr. Boasiako.
The court's decision moves the trial to the defence stage. Mr. Boasiako will present witnesses and evidence to counter the prosecution's claims.
The outcome of the trial will depend on the evidence presented by both sides. The Judicial Service is overseeing the proceedings.
