Opuni’s trial postponed again; court needs certified S/C ruling

The trial of former COCOBOD Chief Executive, Dr.Stephen Opuni has been adjourned again to allow the court to decide which specific documents should be handed over to his lawyers. 

The presiding judge, Justice Clemence Honyenuga, has set June 13, to make the decision, stating that he is yet to receive the certified Supreme Court ruling on a similar matter.

Dr Opuni’s lawyers are praying the court to direct the Attorney-General hand over all the documents the prosecution will rely on, including names of witnesses and all other files as well as those that will not be tendered in as evidence,be handed over to them.

This forced the High Court to put the case on hold pending the Supreme Court decision on the Republic versus some Former Bosses of the National Communications Authority in which the defendants made the same demand.
