The High Court in Accra has temporarily halted the trials of former National Signals Bureau Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng, along with former Chief Executive Officer of National Food Buffer Stock Company Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba and his wife Faiza Seidu Wuni. This decision was made pending the Supreme Court's ruling on an application to stop trials during the legal vacation.

The move was initiated by MP Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, who filed a suit at the Supreme Court challenging the constitutionality of the Chief Justice's directive allowing certain courts to continue hearing selected criminal cases during the legal vacation. Nkrumah argues that the Chief Justice's action promotes and facilitates the hearing of 'special criminal cases' at the expense of other cases, which contravenes the Constitution.

The Supreme Court ruled against Nkrumah's request for an adjournment to October, but granted adjournments to August 25, 2026, for both cases, pending the outcome of the injunction application at the Supreme Court.
