The GH¢30 million Ghana Export-Import Bank (Exim Bank) case involving former Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako has been adjourned following an amendment to the charge sheet.

The Accra High Court, during proceedings on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, adjourned the case to October 13, 2026, after the prosecution amended the charge of uttering a forged document to specify the company whose pro-forma invoice was allegedly forged.

According to details published by graphic.com.gh, the prosecution served copies of the amended charge sheet on Chairman Wontumi’s legal team when the case was called.

It also asked the court to withdraw the old charge sheet and replace it with the new one to allow the trial to proceed.

“We wish to withdraw the charge sheet which we filed on the 15th May, 2026, and substitute same with the charge sheet which we filed on the 22nd of Sept. 2026,” the prosecution was quoted to have said.

As a result, the accused persons did not take their pleas and are expected to do so when the court sits on the next adjourned date.

The amended charge sheet, which is dated September 19, 2026, still accuses Wontumi of uttering a forged document under Section 169 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).

The new version, however, identifies the document in question as a pro-forma invoice from EPSONS GHANA LIMITED.

The prosecution alleges that Wontumi used the invoice in 2017 in the Greater Accra Region, despite knowing that it was not genuine.

It said he allegedly used it to deceive officials of Exim Bank and secure GH¢4 million from the bank.
