Speaking to reporters outside the courtroom on Tuesday, May 13,  Samuel Atta Kyea stated, “The way national security matters are being raised, he should come to terms with it. That is what he was trying to do.

He was not saying that he is afraid to defend himself by saying that they are pushing him into areas of national security, and when push comes to shove, he has to defend himself.

“Later, someone will ask why a national intelligence officer is trying to bring national security matters into the public domain when he has sworn an oath,” he said.

Lawyer for Adu Boahene a former Member of Parliament for Akim Abuakwa South, Samuel Atta Akyea in an earlier letter to the National Security Council Secretariat warned that the prosecution of Adu Boahene could lead to potential threats to Ghana’s national security.

Samuel Atta Akyea revealed that there were going to be consequences on Ghana’s national security if the prosecution of his client persisted.

He asserted that the prosecution of his client also violates the country’s laws, including Act 1030 and Act 1040.

Part of the letter reads.“Our client has instructed us that a cursory look at the case from the documents you inherited underscores the fact that the pith of the Hon. Attorney-General’s case is matters bothering national security.

“Besides, the intended prosecution violates the Security and Intelligence Agencies Act, 2020 (Act 1030) and the National Signals Bureau Act, 2020 (Act 1040),”

The acts referred to are the Security and Intelligence Agencies Act which govern Ghana’s intelligence operations and may offer protections for officials, like requiring warrants for investigations.

“We attach a memorandum under the hand of our client, who is at the moment incarcerated at the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) cells. May we count on your usual sense of professionalism in your evaluation and the proffering of the critical understanding of the matters therein contained,” the letter concludes.

Meanwhile, Kwabena Adu Boahene who was remanded by an Accra High Court has been granted bail by the court and has since been arrested for another crime.

According to Adu Boahene’s lawyer, Samuel Atta Akyea his client was re-arrested after he was released on Tuesday, after serving his seven-day remand in the custody of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

Samuel Atta Akyea revealed that the arrest concerned a different crime that had to do with National Security providing internet services to Ghana Water Limited.

Additionally, the Accra High Court has directed the prosecution team to file all witness statements against Kwabena Adu-Boahene by May 26, 2025.

The court presided over by His Lordship, Justice John Eugene Nyadu Nyante elevated concerns about the personal rights of the accused persons.

He encouraged the Deputy Attorney General to try as much as possible to expedite the trial.
