Kwabena Adu-Boahene Failed to Declare Assets - Prosecutors

Accra, Ghana - 12 June, 2025 - A new twist has emerged in the trial of Kwabena Adu-Boahene, former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, and three others, after it was revealed that Adu-Boahene failed to declare his assets as required by law.

The revelation came to light during a case management conference, where prosecutors outlined a vast array of documentary evidence they intend to rely on during the trial. 

Adu-Boahene, along with his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng, associate Mildred Donkor, and their jointly-owned company, Advantage Solutions, are facing charges of stealing, causing financial loss to the state, and money laundering. The alleged crime involves the theft and laundering of over GHS 49 million in state funds meant for the purchase of cybersecurity equipment.

According to Deputy Attorney General Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, investigations have uncovered a complex web of companies and bank accounts through which the accused allegedly siphoned state funds for personal gain. The prosecution plans to present evidence, including corporate records, bank statements, caution statements, and real estate documents, to support their case.

The evidence includes documents linking Advantage Solutions to a private company, BNC, through which money was allegedly channeled, with Adu-Boahene identified as the beneficial owner. Additionally, bank statements from two companies are expected to show that the only significant source of income was the public money in question.

The court has granted the prosecution's request to supplement their disclosures with additional information on Adu-Boahene's asset declaration. The case has been adjourned to June 26, 2025, for a further case management conference.
