Star Witness Corroborates Adu Boahene’s Statement

Before any cheque payment was made, a request was required. The recipient unit submitted this request through the head of Administration. This head then forwarded it to the Director of BNC for approval. Necessary documents were attached before certification by the internal Audit unit.

Ms. Opokua Adumuah stated that the operational account is managed by Kwabena Adu Boahene. He operates under the supervision of the National Security Coordinator. Lawyers for Mr. Adu Boahene argue that this account functions as a special operations account.

In her statement, Ms. Adumuah mentioned that before signing a cheque, Mr. Adu Boahene would inform her first. He did this either verbally or via phone call. She would then forward it to him and the National Security Coordinator, Joshua Kyeremeh, for signatures.

Witness Edith Ruby Opokua Adumuah confirmed payments to ISC Holdings Limited. This company delivered a cyber defense system for the National Signals Bureau. She recalled receiving an invoice of $7 million from Mr. Adu Boahene on September 1, 2020.

BNC began paying this invoice on October 15, 2020. They paid ISC Holdings through "The Director BNC" accountant at Fidelity Bank. Ms. Adumuah noted that BNC paid $3,110,000 related to this invoice and has copies of all documents.

It would be misleading to suggest funds from the operational account were misused by Mr. Adu Boahene and his wife. The expenditures in question were detailed in a memo sent to the current National Security Coordinator on May 7, 2025.

This memo included a summary table of special operations expenditures. It listed payments made to Members of Parliament for enacting the NSB Act in 2020. It also mentioned GH¢8.3 million allocated to an opposition party for communications equipment.

Additionally, GH¢5,135,000 was reportedly paid to a special aide of the President-elect for high-end vehicles like Nissan Patrols and Land Cruisers.

As we await the next court hearing, Ghanaians hope for a fair trial as guaranteed by the 1992 constitution. This constitution emphasizes that an accused person is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
