Accra: The Attorney General has informed the High Court that it is unable to produce several categories of evidence the Court of Appeal ordered it to disclose in the criminal trial of former National Signals Bureau Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene, his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng, and Advantage Solutions Limited (ASL). The three accused persons are facing charges over allegations that they diverted GHS49.1 million earmarked for the acquisition of a state cyber defence system.
According to Ghana Web, the Principal State Attorney Esi Dentaa Yankah stated that the prosecution had not come into possession of the missing 88 pages of Advantage Solutions Limited's Universal Merchant Bank (UMB) account statement. The missing pages form part of six categories of documents the Court of Appeal directed the Attorney-General to disclose in a ruling delivered on May 28, 2026.
The Court of Appeal had partly upheld an appeal filed by Adu-Boahene and Adjei-Boateng challenging the prosecution's disclosure of evidence in the ongoing trial. Aside from the missing bank statement pages, the appellate court ordered the prosecution to disclose the source of the GHS49.1 million allegedly transferred in connection with the transaction, relevant portions of the National Security Coordinator's file on the matter, records relating to special operations accounts linked to Adu-Boahene, and correspondence between the National Security Coordinator and Adjei-Boateng concerning the opening of special purpose accounts at UMB.
Responding to the disclosure orders, the Attorney-General maintained that the defence already had access to the complete UMB bank statement because it had been tendered in full through the prosecution's second witness and admitted into evidence as Exhibits 15 and 15A. On the remaining items, however, the prosecution said it had not obtained the requested materials and was therefore unable to disclose them.
The Attorney-General stated it does not possess documents identifying the source of the GHS49.1 million transferred into the UMB account of B.N.C. Communications Bureau Limited. It also said it does not have the file compiled by then National Security Coordinator Joshua Kyeremeh on the acquisition of the cyber defence system. The prosecution further stated that it could not produce any correspondence authored by Kyeremeh or any previous National Security Coordinator relating to the vetting of Advantage Solutions Limited or the opening of the special purpose accounts. It also said it could not disclose records of the special operations accounts or confirm whether the GHS49.1 million, which the prosecution has equated to approximately US$7 million, was intended exclusively for the cyber defence system project.
