Mr Samuel Atta Akyea, the lead counsel for former National Security Bureau (NSB) boss Kwabena Adu-Boahene, has warned that his client will disclose information that could have national implications.
He warned that his client is prepared to disclose sensitive national security information if that becomes necessary.
The lawyer stated that this would be an action to mount a full defence against the charges levelled against him.
Speaking to reporters outside the courtroom on May 13, 2025, Atta Akyea declared, “They are pushing him in areas of national security. And when push comes to shove, he has to defend himself.”
“And somebody will turn around. And why is the National Security Intelligence Officer trying to bring into the public domain national security matters when he swore an oath? So you swear an oath, and national security will not come to your aid, so you go to jail? That’ll be unfortunate. It will be a tragedy that cannot be calculated. That was the intention of the letter.”
Meanwhile, he has further revealed that the letter that leaked into the public domain last week was meant to be exclusively for the National Security.
“The letter was not supposed to come into the public domain. He wrote to the Coordinator, the successor to national security, to look into the matters which, unfortunately, the Attorney General and EOCO are pushing. Are they pushing national security matters in the public domain? And if he responds to those matters, are they not going to turn around? And he has breached his court of secrecy, and the rest of them – you can’t slap a man twice.”
He continued, “It’s a very dangerous path we are doing. Nobody will be ready to serve national security. If he’s serving national security. And there’s a regime change; they’ll bring you into court to come and explain how the national security money was spent. Who’s going to work for national security? So that immunity they have is of no consequence.”
