Former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene's lead counsel, Samuel Atta Akyea, has expressed discontent over the Accra High Court's decision to grant the defence just 14 days to file a no-case submission. Akyea believes this time frame is inadequate to properly review the prosecution's evidence and prepare a credible no-case submission.
The court has ordered the defence to submit its argument by September 25, 2026, following the prosecution's conclusion of its case. The trial centers around allegations that GH¢49.1 million intended for a cybersecurity system were improperly transferred into an account linked to Adu-Boahene and his wife. Prosecutors presented four witnesses, with the final testimony provided by EOCO investigator Frank Marshall Cromwell.
The charges against Adu-Boahene include theft, conspiracy to steal, fraud by false representation, wilful financial loss to the state, misuse of public office for profit, and money laundering.
