The Accra High Court has postponed the trial of former National Petroleum Authority (NPA) CEO Mustapha Abdul-Hamid and nine others to December 9, 2025. The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) had amended the charges against the accused, increasing the counts from 24 to 54, citing new evidence.
The amended charge sheet alleges large-scale extortion, abuse of public office, and money laundering amounting to GH₵297,574,087.19 and US$332,407.47. The accused, including three companies, are alleged to have operated a coordinated scheme targeting Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) and Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs).
The trial was initially scheduled for November 13, but the OSP requested an adjournment due to the case being reassigned to Criminal Court 4. Justice Bertha Aniagyei granted the request, allowing the prosecution to withdraw the old charge sheet and replace it with the amended one.
