GH¢7.2m transfer was made into Director of NSB's account - Prosecution witness insists

Kwabena Adu-Boahene is in an ongoing trial where the third prosecution witness said a GH¢7.2 million transfer captured in bank statements was paid into the account of the Director of the National Signals Bureau and not the institution's general account. The witness, Mildred Donkor, made the assertion during cross-examination on Thursday, May 14. She maintained that "My Lord, the lodgement was made to the Director, National Signals Bureau, as earlier stated."

Proceedings were marked by a heated cross-examination over money transfers, exchange rates and authorisation of transactions. Lawyers for the accused repeatedly clashed with the Deputy Attorney General over objections and responses during the hearing. The court allowed the witness to answer most of the questions posed by the defence after several objections raised by the Deputy Attorney General were overruled. At one point, Justice Achibonga remarked "Don't waste my time with these little little things" during proceedings.

Adu-Boahene, his wife Angela Boateng, and Advantage Solutions Limited are standing trial over allegations that they misappropriated GH¢49 million intended for the purchase of government cybersecurity software. The prosecution alleges that the funds were moved through a network of companies before ending up in Advantage Solutions Limited and were later used to acquire properties in Accra, Kumasi and London. The case has been adjourned to Wednesday, May 20, 2026, for the cross-examination of the third prosecution witness to continue.
