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 to August 25, 2026, following a Supreme Court decision on an injunction application. The legal vacation prompted the Accra High Court to adjourn the case on August 17, 2026. The Supreme Court hearing is scheduled for August 20, 2026.

Adu-Boahene and Angela Adjei-Boateng are charged with various offenses, including defrauding the state and using public office for personal gain. The defense argued that other lawyers from the same firm could represent the accused, while the Deputy Attorney-General claimed that filing an injunction application did not automatically stop proceedings.

The High Court's judge, Justice Francis Apangabuno Achibonga, rejected the adjournment request, deeming it would delay the case. The case will be revisited on August 25, 2026, pending the Supreme Court's decision on the injunction application.
