Justice John Ajet-Nassam, the judge presiding over the criminal case against embattled businessman Alfred Woyome, has warned he may be compelled to take a decision that will not be in the interest of the country if State prosecutors continue asking for more adjournments.

State prosecutors on Monday morning pleaded for more time once more in the case which has dragged for some time now and while Judge Ajet-Nassam was granting them their request, he admonished them to sit up or forget about the case.

“Throw in the towel or get serious,” a visibly serious looking Judge Ajet-Nassam told the State prosecutors.

The State was granted four more weeks to put its house in order.

Mr. Woyome is being tried for allegedly conniving with some public officials to dupe Ghana of some GhC 51 million in judgment debt.
