Prosecution Nears End of Case in GH¢49.1m NSB Trial – Deputy Attorney-General
The prosecution is set to close its case next week in the ongoing trial of former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene and two others, Deputy Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Justice Srem-Sai, has disclosed.
In a statement shared on his official X formerly (Twitter) page on Saturday, July 18, Justice Srem-Sai said the state, working alongside investigators from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), had presented what he described as extensive evidence before the High Court.
“We look forward to closing our case in The Republic v Kwabena Adu-Boahene & 2 Others next week,” he wrote.
The former NSB boss is facing trial over allegations that he diverted GH¢49.1 million belonging to the state, claims he has denied.
According to Justice Srem-Sai, evidence presented by the prosecution has established that the funds were government money held in the account of a public institution.
“Evidence that the GH¢49.1 million is emphatically Government of Ghana money in a government agency bank account. No dispute in court over its source,” he stated.
The Deputy Attorney-General further alleged that Adu-Boahene opened a private company account on the same day the first cheque was issued and gave the company a name similar to that of a government institution.
He claimed that three cheques meant for a state agency were instead paid into the private account, after which the funds were allegedly transferred and used for various purchases.
Justice Srem-Sai said the prosecution had provided evidence tracing the movement of the money over a six-month period, including documents relating to luxury properties, vehicles, bank transactions, ownership records and purchase receipts.
He also alleged that some of the accused persons initially denied links to certain companies, bank accounts and properties connected to the case but later acknowledged ownership after being confronted with evidence.
The Deputy Attorney-General rejected suggestions that the funds were used to support political activities ahead of the 2024 general election, saying the prosecution had presented evidence to challenge those claims.
He further alleged that the bank account involved in the transactions was later closed after financial institutions raised concerns over suspicious activity.
According to him, investigations also revealed that the cyber defence equipment the funds were allegedly intended to purchase was never acquired, with the prosecution presenting what it described as forged documents created to conceal the absence of the equipment.
Kwabena Adu-Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng, and Advantage Solutions Limited are standing trial on charges including stealing and causing financial loss to the state. The accused persons have pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Justice Srem-Sai expressed confidence in the state’s case, stating that the prosecution believes the trial will ultimately deliver justice to both the accused persons and the Republic.
We look forward to closing our case in The Republic v Kwabena Adu-Boahene & 2 Others next week. In the case, the principal accused person is being tried for stealing Ghc 49.1 million from a government bank account.
Our hard working state attorneys and EOCO investigators have…
