The Attorney General Dr Dominic Ayine has disclosed that activities by the former Director General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu Boahen, led to a financial loss of $7 million to the state.
The minister alleged that these “dubious” schemes involved the illegal diversion of state funds for personal and private use.
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, April 20, 2025, revealed that the state had filed 11 criminal charges against Adu Boahen, his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng, and two other accomplices.
According to the minister, the charges filed against them are stealing, defrauding by false pretences, money laundering, conspiracy to commit a crime, causing financial loss to the state, and using public office for profit.
Dominic Ayine assured that the case filed in court is expected to begin in the coming weeks.
He said investigations had been conducted before the case was filed in court.
“Meticulous investigations undertaken by the Economic and Organised Crime Office had uncovered a scheme by Mr Adu Boahene that resulted in the loss of $7 million.
“I can now confirm that at the conclusion of our investigation, that is how much he stole from the taxpayers of this country. In consequence, I have filed charges against him and his wife, and one Mildred Donkor, a former employee of UMB,” he disclosed.
Adu Boahen and his wife were arrested on March 20 and 21, respectively, in connection with the case.
They are being accused of using some of the diverted funds to finance businesses they personally owned.
Court documents say the two used their positions to channel state resources through private entities, defrauding the country in the process.
