The Accra High Court has rejected former Signals Bureau Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene's plea to delay his trial while awaiting a Supreme Court decision on a legal vacation review application filed by MP Kojo Oppong Nkrumah. Adu-Boahene's legal team argued that the Supreme Court's ruling could impact the ongoing trial, but Deputy Attorney-General Justice Srem-Sai contended that the prosecution had limited time to present their case.
The Supreme Court's earlier ruling on the legal vacation was deemed binding, and the High Court dismissed the defence's request for an adjournment.

All defendants have pleaded not guilty and are currently on bail.
