An Accra High Court has put on hold the trial of the former Cocobod boss Dr Stephen Opuni until a case referred to the Supreme Court involving former heads of the National Communications Authority and the State is ruled on.
Lawyers for Dr Opuni filed a motion demanding the release of all documents the state intends to use in prosecuting its case against their client, a request Deputy Attorney General Godfred Dame has resisted.

However, the court presided over by CJ Honyenugah decided to adjourn the case pending the determination of a similar motion filed in the case involving ex-NCA officials and state.
In that case, the former Board Chair of the NCA Baffoe Bonnie and Director General of the NCA William Tevie are also demanding the state to make available documents it intends to use in the prosecution.
