Adu-Boahene Trial: Defence questions witness on bank transfers
Kwabena Adu-Boahene's defence questioned Madam Mildred Donkor on Monday over bank transfers reflected in documents before the court. Samuel Atta-Akyea, counsel for the accused persons, took the witness through transactions allegedly involving transfers from the accounts of Advantage Solutions Limited. The defence referred the witness to a transaction dated July 9, 2018, involving a transfer of GH¢1.7 million allegedly in favour of Mr Adu-Boahene. Madam Donkor responded that, per the document shown to her, it indicated a transfer of GH¢1.7 million in favour of Adu-Boahene.
The witness confirmed another transaction dated December 3, 2018, involving a transfer of GH¢402,000 to an account linked to Mr. Adu-Boahene. She also confirmed that the document reflected a "high value transfer" to Fidelity Bank linked to Adu-Boahene of GH¢1,650,000 to Fidelity Bank in favour of the Director of BNC Communications Bureau Limited. Madam Donkor maintained that the transactions were undertaken based on instructions she received and that the bank, not herself, generated the statements. Disagreement arose between Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, the Deputy Attorney-General for the prosecution, and the defence over the interpretation of portions of the document, with the prosecution objecting to a question posed by the defence, arguing that counsel was "harassing" the witness.
The court, presided over by Justice Eugene Nyante Nyadu, indicated that it would consider the document's relevance to the charges before it, including the money-laundering allegations involving Advantage Solutions Limited. The matter was adjourned to May 26, 2026, for continuation of cross-examination.
Quick Summary
The trial involving Kwabena Adu-Boahene continues with a focus on bank transfers related to Advantage Solutions Limited. The defence questioned a witness about these transactions- suggesting they should be reflected in Adu-Boahene's accounts, but the witness's responses hint at something more.
