About Chairman Wontumi’s court battle
Wontumi is currently facing serious allegations connected to illegal mining activities and the management of mineral concessions.
According to ongoing legal concerns, he is accused of operating without proper authorisation and breaching regulatory procedures.
These issues are said to stem from dealings linked to his company, Akonta Mining, which has been at the centre of intense public and legal scrutiny.
