The Accra High Court has rejected an open-court plea by lead counsel for former Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, seeking a long adjournment of the trial.
Joseph Kpemka, lead counsel for Abdul-Hamid, had prayed the court for an adjournment on grounds of ill health, exhaustion, and the upcoming bar conference.
