The Economic Organized Crime Office, or EOCO, has come out with new corruption scandals involving Kwabena Adu-Boahene again, this time involving the possession of a fleet of cars, including a Lamborghini, one of the world’s most expensive cars, even though investigations about the former boss of the National Signal Bureau are still ongoing. Consider that EOCO has frozen all of these properties; I believe Kwabene Adu-Boahene needs to explain to Ghanaians how he made his money.
Mr. Adu-Boahene, who led the NSB from 2017 until February 2025, was arrested at Kotoka International Airport after attempting to outwit security personnel who were waiting for him. He is accused of using fraudulent means to transfer GHS 49 million, or approximately $7 million, in public funds into his personal accounts. According to Attorney General Dr. Ayine, Adu-Boahene signed a $7 million contract with Israeli business ISC Holdings Limited in 2020 for a cyber security system.
According to investigations conducted by the Economic and Organized Crime Office, or EOCO, Mr. Adu-Boahene purchased properties in a number of locations, including two on Stream Part Drive, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra; with traced deposit slips and receipts, a $1,000,000 deposit (worth GHS15,000,000) was made for this estate. Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra: A $500,000 deposit was noted for this property, and $200,000 was deposited for the asset at Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA.
The others are 10 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra, with a deposit of $270,000 upon receipt; 9 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra, with an initial deposit of $97,815 given to the authorities who suspect additional cash payments were used to finalize the purchase; and 8 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra. A $150,000 deposit is required for this property. Following the pledge to combat corruption, this is what actually transpired during the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration.
In a surprising development while the investigation is ongoing, Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his spouse took advantage of the NPP Supreme Court judges and Gertrude Torkornoo to join his colleagues in a defamation lawsuit against Attorney General Dr. Dominic Ayine after accusing him of the offenses. His legal battle demonstrated that NPP leaders who are accused of theft or corruption believe they are above the law and capable of suing those who are trying to bring them to justice.
Ghanaians have been impatient, demanding that the attorney general begin arresting and prosecuting NPP politicians after the ORAL team presented their report to the president. Therefore, the EOCO report of the new corruption cases involving Kwabena Adu-Boahene’s list of luxury cars, including Lamborghini, has increased the anger of Ghanaians, since NPP politicians, like Eugene Arhin and Cecilia Dapaah, had been implicated in significant corruption scandals, yet none of them had faced legal action.
In addition to the frozen estate assets, the Economic Organized Crime Office, which recently charged Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng, with 15 cases involving corruption, claims that vehicles, including a Maserati, several Cadillac Escalades, Range Rovers, Land Cruisers, and a Lamborghini, have also been frozen. Being wealthy is not a crime, but obtaining property illegally is, so we must question Mr. Boahene about how he obtained the funds to purchase those vehicles.
Every luxury automobile on the list is extremely costly, especially the Lamborghini. Italian sports cars are considered works of art, similar to holy artifacts, and are appreciated by many, but only a few people can afford them. Depending on the year of manufacturing, Lamborghini vehicles can cost anywhere from $211,321 to $2.2 million. Starting at $577,661, the topless Aventador can cost much more than a newly tested model that costs over $643,000. Did Boahene acquire his money through football?

Every piece of infrastructure in Ghana has been destroyed by widespread corruption, yet no one has ever been prosecuted and jailed. Therefore, Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his wife, Angela, should disclose how they obtained those assets. Ghanaians anticipate that if found guilty, the government shouldn’t hesitate to put them behind bars for decades if a goat thief can be given 10 years.
