The High Court in Accra on Wednes­day adjourned the $2 million Sky train financial loss to the State case against Prof Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi and Solomon Asamoah, former board chairman and CEO of Gha­na Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), to August 26, 2025.

The case was scheduled to commence on July 23, but when it was called before Justice Comfort Ta­siame, counsel for the accused, Duke Aaron Sasu, told the court they were not served with disclo­sures filed by the prosecution.

On June 24, 2025 the Office of the Attorney General told the court that it would invite eight witnesses to testify against the accused.

Earlier, the prosecution said it intended to call 12 witnesses, but during proceedings on June 24, Sefakor Batse, a Chief State Attorney, told the High Court, Accra, that the prosecution would withdraw four witness statements.

On June 11, 2025 Professor Amey­aw-Akumfi was granted GH¢10 million bail with two sureties.

This was after he pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit crime and willfully causing financial loss to the state, and intentional dissipation of public funds, to­gether with the former GIIF boss, Solomon Asamoah.

As part of the bail condition, the court presided over by Justice Comfort Tasiame, directed that the sureties, justify the landed proper­ties located in Accra.

The sureties must deposit copies of their Ghana Card, whilst Prof Ameyaw-Akumfi is to deposit his passport and report to the investi­gators once every week.

Prof Ameyaw-Akumfi, a former Minister of Education, was brought in a wheelchair after he was rushed to the hospital for medical attention.

His counsel, Duke Aaron Sasu, told the court that his client was an 80-year-old distinguished academic and statesman who had devoted over 50 years of his life to public service in Ghana.

He appealed to the court to admit his client to bail, as denying his bail plea would have grave con­sequences on his health.

“My lady, these health circum­stances would make a denial of bail, particularly burdensome and poten­tially dangerous to his well-being.
