Adu-Boahene trial adjourned to September 2 as defence gets extra day to cross-examine witness
The Accra High Court has granted counsel for former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene an additional day to complete the cross-examination of the fourth prosecution witness.
The Accra High Court has granted counsel for ex-National Signals Bureau Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene an extra day to finish questioning the fourth prosecution witness. The trial will resume on September 2nd, 2026. The focus is on the cross-examination of Frank Marshall Cromwell, a key investigator with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
Cromwell is leading the prosecution's case regarding a GH¢49.1 million public fund diversion tied to a cybersecurity procurement deal. The defence team is skeptical about the EOCO investigation's foundation and extent, questioning if a formal complaint sparked the probe. Adu-Boahene's defense attorney, Samuel Atta Akyea, also disputes the prosecution's calculation of the alleged sum, suggesting GH¢38.15 million instead of the GH¢49.1 million claimed by the prosecution.
The trial involves Adu-Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng, and two others accused of charges stemming from the alleged misuse of funds meant for cyber-defence software procurement. Adu-Boahene has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is currently on bail. The prosecution contends that the missing funds originated from a public account managed by the National Signals Bureau.
The defence anticipates continuing the cross-examination when proceedings reconvene on September 2nd.
