The Attorney General has submitted written arguments to the High Court urging the dismissal of Former National Signals Bureau boss Kwabena Adu‑Boahene’s application for a no‑case submission. The brief follows Adu‑Boahene’s own filing on 25 September, where he asked the court to throw out the Republic’s case and acquit him of the charges.
In the 25‑page submission, the AG outlines the essential evidence presented by the prosecution that establishes the offences charged. The accused, Adu‑Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei Boateng and their company Advantage Solutions, face 11 financial offences tied to the alleged diversion of GH₵49.1 million earmarked for cyber‑defence software for the State. The prosecution has closed its case after calling four witnesses.
Witnesses included driver Frank Anane Dekpey, who testified to errands involving cash in “Ghana must go” bags; Head of Finance at the NSB Ruby Adumoah Opoku, who confirmed the transfer of the funds to an unknown account; former employee Mildred Donkor, who operated a company set up by the accused to move funds and received pre‑signed cheques; and EOCO investigator Frank Marshall Cromwell, who detailed the accounts used to divert the money and discredited a letter purporting to confirm the software purchase.
The AG argues that these pieces of evidence decisively point to guilt, stating: “The evidence which the Republic adduced did not leave any of the allegations in equivocation. They all point decisively to guilt.” He also contends that the accused’s cross‑examination was “extraordinarily tangential” and did not disturb the essential documentary evidence. For example, the AG notes that the cross‑examination of the third witness focused on collateral matters such as her salary and the presence of lawyers, which the court rejected as irrelevant.
The AG has prayed for the court to dismiss the accused’s no‑case submission. With all filings now complete, the High Court is set to rule on Thursday, 5 November 2026, deciding whether the accused will be acquitted or whether the Republic’s case will be upheld, requiring the accused to open a defence if they wish to do so.
