The state is expected to close its case next week in the ongoing criminal trial involving former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene, and two others, Deputy Attorney-General Justice Srem-Sai has disclosed.
In a statement shared on his official Facebook page on Saturday, July 18, 2026, Justice Srem-Sai said prosecutors, working together with investigators from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), had presented substantial evidence before the trial court and were confident of concluding the prosecution’s case next week.
“We look forward to closing our case in The Republic v Kwabena Adu-Boahene & 2 Others next week,” he stated.
According to the Deputy Attorney-General, the principal accused person is standing trial for allegedly stealing GH¢49.1 million from a government bank account.
Justice Srem-Sai said the prosecution had adduced evidence to show that the funds belonged to the Government of Ghana and were held in the bank account of a government agency.
“Evidence that the GH¢49.1 million is emphatically Government of Ghana money in a government agency bank account. No dispute in court over its source,” he wrote.
He further alleged that the principal accused person opened a bank account in the name of a private company on the same day the first cheque was issued and intentionally gave it a name similar to that of a government agency.
According to him, evidence presented before the court indicates that three cheques intended for a government agency were instead deposited into the private company’s account.
Justice Srem-Sai also claimed the prosecution had presented detailed evidence tracing how the funds were allegedly spent within six months, including the purchase of luxury vehicles and houses in prime locations for the accused, family members, and friends.
He added that the prosecution had tendered purchase receipts, bank statements, ownership documents, and other records detailing the transfers, payments, and acquisitions allegedly made with the funds.
The Deputy Attorney-General further stated that evidence before the court showed that the accused persons initially denied ownership of some companies, bank accounts, and luxury properties linked to the case but later admitted ownership after being confronted with documentary evidence.
He also dismissed claims that the money was used to finance political campaigns ahead of the 2024 general election, saying the prosecution had presented evidence suggesting the principal accused deliberately misled the public with that assertion.
Justice Srem-Sai further alleged that the bank account used in the transactions was eventually closed after the bank flagged it as suspicious. He added that investigations found no evidence that the equipment the accused claimed the funds were intended to procure was ever purchased.
According to him, the prosecution has also presented evidence of forged purchase receipts allegedly created to conceal the fact that the equipment was never acquired.
Despite the allegations, Kwabena Adu-Boahene and the two other accused persons have pleaded not guilty to the charges, and the case remains before the court.
Justice Srem-Sai expressed confidence in the prosecution’s case, stating that justice would ultimately be served.
“We believe that justice will be served to both the accused persons and our beloved Republic at the end of the day,” he said.
