Adu-Boahene trial put on hold pending Supreme Court decision on legal vacation

The trial of former National Signals Bureau Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng, has been postponed until August 25, 2026, by the Accra High Court. This decision was made pending the outcome of an injunction application before the Supreme Court. The application aims to prevent the High Court from proceeding with the trial during the legal vacation.

Justice Francis Apangabuno Achibonga expressed reluctance to continue with the trial, fearing it would be halted by a superior court. The defence argued that Mr Atta Akyea, the accused's lawyer, had valid reasons for not attending due to professional commitments. However, the Deputy Attorney-General contended that other lawyers from the firm could represent the accused, and the court had already directed that the case proceed during the legal vacation.
