Some of the collection of luxurious car at Kwabena Adu Boahene’s Dream Enterprise Collections
Lawyers of GhanaWeb, Ayine and Partners, have rejected an assertion by former Director-General of Ghana’s National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, and his wife, Angel Adjei Boateng, that a publication on their car rental company linked to “stolen cars” was “vile and defamatory”.
In response to a letter from the former NSB boss’ lawyers, GhanaWeb’s legal counsel indicated that there was nothing “vile and defamatory” about the publication.
They indicated that the Adu Boahenes, in the letter written by their lawyers to GhanaWeb, blatantly ignored the fact that the story was based on a witness statement by an investigator of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), Frank Marshall Cromwell, and presented in the High Court hearing a case involving the couple.
“We wish to state categorically that the said publication by our Client is not vile and does not in any way defame your Clients, Kwabena Adu-Boahene and Angela Agyei Boateng.
“It is a publicly known fact that your Clients are currently the subjects of criminal proceedings, which you have on several occasions spoken to the media about. It is also an undisputed fact that Mr Frank Marshall Cromwell, an EOCO investigator, has filed a witness statement in that matter. These proceedings are not in camera and are open to the public. In fact, all processes filed in that matter are available publicly,” part of the response by GhanaWeb’s lawyers reads.
The lawyers added, “Therefore, to suggest that a publication by a reputed news portal like our Client, which simply informs the general public about recent developments in the matter, is ‘vile and defamatory’ is quite disingenuous. Respectfully, you may want to take another look at the publication.”
