Leaked audio: Court grants Ofosu-Ampofo adjournment request to open defense

The Accra High Court has granted Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo's request for additional time to open his defense due to complications from a minor surgery.

Ofosu-Ampofo, the former National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), was expected in court on May 30, 2024, but his counsel, Tony Lithur, reported that a long flight had aggravated his leg, making him unable to walk.

The court, with Justice Samuel Asiedu presiding, adjourned the case to June 20, 2024. Ofosu-Ampofo and Anthony Kwaku Boahen are on trial for conspiring to harm public officials, with both pleading not guilty.
