  "account": "Kwabena Adu-Boahene's legal team has requested the High Court to remove certain fabricated statements and misrepresentations from the Deputy Attorney-General's submissions. The defence argues that the prosecution's written arguments contain invented testimony and unverified facts. The application, filed on October 19, 2026, challenges sections of the Deputy Attorney-General's submissions filed on October 9, 2026. The defence disputes Exhibits X and 11, which the prosecution allegedly described as forged documents. They also challenge the prosecution's reliance on PW2's testimony regarding a cyber-defence system transaction, and the characterization of GH¢49.1 million linked to the transaction. The defence argues that these passages should be struck out or disregarded when determining the accused persons' case.",
  "summary": "Lawyers for former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene have asked the High Court to expunge portions of the prosecution’s written arguments in opposition to the accused persons’ submission of no case to answer, alleging that they contain fabricated statements and misrepresentations of evidence presented during the trial.",
