The Accra High Court has set the start of the trial of former National Signals Bureau Director General, Kwabena Adu Boahene and three others over the alleged stealing of GH¢49 million for July 18, 2025.
This comes following the High Court in Accra throwing out the former National Signals Bureau Director General, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, and three others’ request seeking access to documents dating from 1992.
Adu-Boahene and the three others were asking, among other things, for a “further order that the Attorney-General should make full disclosure and produce for inspection and make copies of the various National Security Coordinators’ special operations accounts.”
The accounts consist of the governments of Presidents Rawlings (1992 to 2001), Kufuor (2001 to 2009), Atta Mills (2009 to 2012), Mahama (2012 to 2017), Akufo-Addo (2017 to 2025) and Mahama (2025 to date).
Kwabena Adu Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng and two others have been charged by the state for stealing, defrauding by false pretences, money laundering, and conspiracy to commit a crime.
According to the charge sheet, Kwabena Adu Boahene, his wife stole state funds to the tune of GHc 49 million.
The Attorney General, Dr Dominic Ayine, filed 11 charges against Kwabena Adu-Boahene and three others at the High Court in Accra.
“The charges filed against the accused persons included: stealing, contrary to Section 124(1) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29); conspiracy to steal, contrary to Sections 23(1) and 124(1) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960; and defrauding by false pretences, contrary to Section 131(1) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).
Some of the other charges against them are: wilfully causing financial loss to the state, contrary to Section 179A(3)(a) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29); using public office for profit, contrary to Section 179C(a) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29); and collaboration to commit a crime, to wit, using public office for profit, contrary to Section 179C(b) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29)”.
Mildred Donkor, former bank relations officer of Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his wife, and Advantage Solutions Limited are the other accused persons.
Reports suggest Advantage Solutions Limited is a holding company owned by Adu Boahene and his wife for allegedly committing the crimes.
Adu-Boahene, who served as NSB Director-General from 2017 until February 2025, is accused of diverting millions of Ghanaian cedis of state funds into personal accounts.
