Wontumi arrives at Accra High Court for judgment in Samreboi mining case

The judgment, scheduled for today, July 20, 2026, follows months of legal proceedings in which Wontumi and his company, Akonta Mining Limited, faced charges over alleged unauthorised mining activities on the Samreboi concession in the Western Region The anticipated ruling follows the court's decision last month to grant Wontumi's new lead counsel, Samuel Atta Akyea, additional time to file a written address in support of the defence's case.

The High Court is therefore expected to first determine whether to proceed with the delivery of judgment as scheduled or grant the defence's request for an adjournment pending the Supreme Court's decision.

Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has arrived at the Accra High Court as the court prepares to deliver judgment in the high-profile Samreboi concession case.
