The adjournment came after the court had asked the Attorney-General to file a written submission in three weeks’ time.
The court also gave the defence team three weeks to obtain copies of the record of proceedings to review and file their written responses.
When the case was called Tuesday, the acting Director of Public Prosecutions, Mrs Yvonne Atakora Obuobisa, in the company of two other state attorneys, told the court that the state had received the record of proceedings of the case.
However, the defence team, led by Mr Kofi Coka, informed the court that they were yet to receive the record of proceedings of the case.
Woyome appeared in court dressed in his usual African white outfit.
