ACCRA, Ghana

A High Court in Accra has deferred the hearing of the Samreboi case involving NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Wontumi, to July 20, 2026.

The court also gave lead counsel for the accused, Samuel Atta Akyea, until July 13 to file any address in the matter.

Court Proceedings and New Date

The case, which relates to issues in Samreboi, was called before the High Court on Monday. After submissions from both sides, the presiding judge adjourned proceedings.

Next Hearing: July 20, 2026
Filing Deadline: Mr. Atta Akyea has until July 13, 2026, to submit any legal address to the court.

The deferment means both the prosecution and defence will return later in July for the matter to continue.
