A court in Accra has told Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Wontumi, to present his defence. This is for a case where he is accused of allowing mining on his land without proper government approval.
The judge presiding over Criminal Court 4 made this decision after reviewing the evidence presented by the prosecution.
The prosecution believes they have shown enough to require Mr. Boasiako to explain his actions.
This development means the trial will continue with the defence presenting its arguments.
The case involves allegations of illegal mining activities on a concession connected to Mr. Boasiako.
