BREAKING – High Court remands Adu-Boahene into prison custody

Kwabena Adu-Boahene, former head of the National Signals Bureau, has been remanded. An Accra High Court ordered this remand for seven working days. This allows the Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, to prepare witness statements. The case has been adjourned until May 13.

Adu-Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng, and two others face serious charges. They are charged with stealing, fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy. The Attorney General filed 11 charges against them at the High Court in Accra.

The charges include stealing under Section 124(1) of the Criminal Offences Act. They also include conspiracy to steal and defrauding by false pretences. Other charges involve causing financial loss to the state and using public office for profit.

Mildred Donkor is a former bank relations officer involved in this case. Advantage Solutions Limited is also implicated as a holding company owned by Adu-Boahene and his wife.

Adu-Boahene served as NSB Director-General from 2017 until February 2025. He is accused of diverting millions of Ghanaian cedis into personal accounts. The Attorney General claims he diverted over $7 million related to a cyber defense contract.

Additionally, Adu-Boahene allegedly laundered state funds through real estate investments in Accra and abroad. He redirected biweekly payments from Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) to his own company.

Dr. Ayine revealed that GWCL was supposed to pay GHS1.3 million monthly for secure internet services. Instead of going to the Bureau's accounts, these payments went into Adu-Boahene’s personal account.
