The Deputy Attorney General, Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, spoke on JoyNews’ PM Express. He revealed that Kwabena Adu Boahene and his wife, Angela Adjei Boateng, have not been formally charged. They have been in custody for several days.

He explained that the Attorney General's department has investigated Mr. Boahene's case for weeks. However, they waited to make public statements until verifying facts and confronting the accused.

Regarding their detention, Dr. Srem-Sai noted they were granted bail but had not met conditions yet. “They are working to satisfy the bail conditions,” he explained.
