The former Chief Executive (CE) of Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD), Dr Stephen Kwabena Opuni has made an application for Justice Clemence Honyenuga to recuse himself from continuing with the criminal trial involving him and two others.

Although Dr Opuni reasons for strongly opposing the Justice of the Supreme from sitting on the case are yet unknown, the court has set June 9, 2021 to rule on the case.

The COCOBOD former boss is standing trial with businessman Siedu Agongo and Agricult Ghana Limited over some agrochemical transactions.
