Kwabena Adu-Boahene is a former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau
The High Court in Accra has reportedly dismissed a request from Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the embattled former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), to access operational account details of National Security Coordinators dating back to 1992.
Adu-Boahene, who is currently facing prosecution, sought these documents for his defence.
According to a GHOne report on Thursday, July 3, 2025, the court rejected the application, filed by Adu-Boahene and his three co-accused in the GH¢49 million NSB case, during proceedings.
“High Court in Accra dismisses application by former NSB boss, Adu-Boahene and three others for documents dating back to 1992,” a post by GHOne X account confirmed.
Following the dismissal of the request, the High Court has set the commencement of the accused persons’ trial for July 18, 2025.
Adu-Boahene and the other accused persons, through their lawyer, argued that the release of these extensive account details was crucial to ensuring a fair trial.
Their formal request, filed by lead counsel Samuel Atta Akyea, specifically demanded “the various National Security Coordinators’ operational accounts” for all governments from 1992 to date, including those of Presidents Rawlings, Kufuor, Atta Mills, Mahama, and Akufo-Addo.
The lawyer contended that “the production of these documents is vital to the constitutional right of the accused to a fair trial, particularly in a case where questions about financial oversight and accountability lie at the heart of the allegations.”
He further added that “full transparency of how national security funds have been handled over the decades will help establish the broader context within which the accused persons operated.”
The Office of the Attorney General has charged Kwabena Adu-Boahene; his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng; their associate, Mildred Boateng; and Advantage Solutions Limited, a company jointly owned by Adu-Boahene and his wife, with 11 charges.
They are accused of allegedly transferring GH¢49 million (approximately $7 million) from the bureau’s account to Adu-Boahene’s personal account.
