An Accra High Court has extended the deadline for plea bargain discussions in a fraud case involving Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, known as Chairman Wontumi, and the Attorney-General’s Office to July 6, 2026. The case centers around allegations of fraud related to GH¢30 million involving the EXIM bank. Wontumi is the sole shareholder and a director of Wontumi Farms Limited, established in 2017 for agricultural activities. The court is awaiting an update on the progress of these negotiations before proceeding further. The extension allows both parties additional time to potentially reach an agreement outside of a full trial. Details of the alleged fraud remain under discussion as part of the plea bargain process. The next court appearance is scheduled for the extended deadline.
