  "summary": "Former National Signals Bureau Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene has been acquitted of two counts of theft and ordered to open his defence on nine others in a ruling by the Accra High Court. The court found that the prosecution had led sufficient evidence to prove that the first accused person appropriated GH¢27.1 million and GH¢1 million belonging to the government, which the accused must now defend. The court also found that there was sufficient evidence to require the accused to open his defence on counts of stealing GH¢21 million and conspiracy to steal GH¢49.1 million.",
