Accra: Deputy Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, has outlined what he describes as critical evidence in the ongoing trial of former National Signals Bureau Director-General, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, and two others. The allegations focus on claims that Adu-Boahene misappropriated GHS49.1 million from a government bank account for personal use, including the purchase of real estate and luxury vehicles.
According to Ghana Web, Dr. Srem-Sai made his remarks via a Facebook statement on Saturday, July 18, 2026. He indicated that the prosecution, comprising state attorneys and investigators from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), is expected to close its case next week. The evidence presented aims to show that the funds in question belonged to the Government of Ghana and were held in a government agency's bank account.
The prosecution alleges that Adu-Boahene opened a new bank account under a private company name that closely resembled that of a government agency, on the same day the first cheque was issued. This move purportedly facilitated the diversion of three cheques meant for a government agency into the private account. Within six months, the accused allegedly spent the entire sum on luxurious homes and vehicles for himself, his family, and friends.
Dr. Srem-Sai stated that the prosecution provided purchase receipts, bank statements, ownership documents, and other financial records to substantiate their claims. Initially, the accused denied owning certain companies, bank accounts, and properties but later admitted ownership when confronted with evidence.
Moreover, the prosecution challenged Adu-Boahene's public assertion that the GHS49.1 million was used for political campaign financing in 2024. Dr. Srem-Sai claimed the bank account utilized in these transactions was later deemed suspicious by the bank and subsequently closed. Equipment that Adu-Boahene claimed the funds were intended to purchase was reportedly never acquired, with forged receipts allegedly produced to disguise this fact.
The Deputy Attorney General expressed confidence in the judicial process, anticipating that justice would ultimately prevail for both the accused and the Republic.
