High Court dismisses application to strike out charges in Mustapha Abdul-Hamid case
The High Court has dismissed an application by the accused persons in the ongoing National Petroleum Authority (NPA)–Unified Petroleum Pricing Fund (UPPF) corruption case seeking to have the charges against them struck out.
The High Court has rejected an attempt by the accused individuals in the National Petroleum Authority (NPA)–Unified Petroleum Pricing Fund (UPPF) corruption case to have the charges against them dismissed. This decision, announced by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) on September 2, allows the trial to proceed as planned.
The accused, including former NPA CEO Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, former UPPF Coordinator Jacob Kwamina Amuah, and others, faced 54 charges including corruption, extortion, money laundering, and conspiracy. The Republic alleges that up to GH¢291.57 million and US$332,407 were obtained unlawfully between 2022 and December 2024 through a scheme involving NPA officials.
The OSP stated that some of the funds were used in various asset transactions. With the dismissal of the application, the prosecution's case will move forward to a full trial to evaluate the allegations.
