Witness details management of multiple company accounts in Adu-Boahene trial

Madam Mildred Donkor, a former Director of Advantage Solutions Limited, told the High Court on Tuesday how she managed bank accounts and executed financial transactions for the accused, Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his wife, Angela Adjei Boateng. Madam Donkor, the third prosecution witness, said that BNC Communications Bureau Limited was one of the companies owned by the accused persons and that it was introduced to her around 2018 as part of their expanding business operations. The court overruled the defence's objection to a photograph, holding that the witness's identification of the project was sufficient for admissibility.

Madam Donkor said she was responsible for managing the accounts, including making payments, withdrawals, and transfers on behalf of the accused persons. She explained that funds were often transferred to other company accounts, such as Advantage Solutions Limited and Vertex Properties Limited, to facilitate transactions because cheque books for the BNC account were not ready. She said many of the payments were made to suppliers of building materials, including cement and iron rods. She kept personal records using an Excel spreadsheet and a notebook for reconciliation purposes. She testified that some funds were sent to Madam Margaret Ama Donkor, identified as the mother of the first accused, for a construction project at Asokore in Kumasi, where she assisted in purchasing building materials. She identified 12 cheque books linked to various accounts, including those of Advantage Solutions Limited, BNC Communications Bureau Limited, and Vertex Properties Limited, all held with Universal Merchant Bank branches.

The case was adjourned to Thursday, May 7, 2026, for continuation.
