Mustapha Hamid trial to continue during legal vacation despite defence plea
The Accra High Court has rejected a request by lawyers for four accused persons in the case involving former National Petroleum Authority (NPA) Chief Executive Officer, Dr Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, to adjourn the trial until October.
The judge indicated that the trial would continue unless the Chief Justice, Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, withdraws the warrant directing selected high-profile criminal cases to proceed during the legal vacation.
The defence teams had asked the court to suspend proceedings for the legal vacation and resume the case in October.
