The Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, has dropped charges against Mildred Donkor, the third accused person in the ongoing GHS49 million theft case against Kwabena Adu-Boahene, and his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng.
On Wednesday, October 15, a notice filed at the High Court in Accra revealed Ms Donkor was formally discharged under Section 59 of the Criminal and Other Offences (Procedure) Act, 1960 (Act 30).
The information gathered suggests the decision follows her reported agreement to serve as a prosecution witness in the case.
Mildred Donkor is now expected to give insight into the alleged theft and misappropriation of state funds by the former National Signals Bureau boss, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, and his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng and their company, Advantage Solutions Limited.
Earlier, Ms Donkor abruptly dismissed her lawyer in open court on July 18, saying, “I wish to take a separate lawyer, please,” she told the judge at the time.
Mildred Donkor, in her witness statement, labelled her association with the first and second accused persons as longstanding from their days at Cedar Mountain Assemblies of God Church in East Legon.
She revealed she became a director of Advantage Solutions Limited at the request of Mr Adu-Boahene, adding that “Although I was listed as a director, I had no decision-making power and only acted on instructions from Mr Adu-Boahene and Madam Adjei-Boateng,” she said.
The AG is now expected to rely on her testimony to strengthen its case against the remaining accused persons.
It will be recalled, Kwabena Adu Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng, Mildred Donkor, and one other have been charged by the state for stealing, defrauding by false pretences, money laundering, and conspiracy to commit a crime.
According to the charge sheet, Kwabena Adu Boahene and his wife stole state funds to the tune of GHc 49 million.
The Attorney General, Dr Dominic Ayine, filed 11 charges against Kwabena Adu-Boahene and three others at the High Court in Accra.
“The charges filed against the accused persons included: stealing, contrary to Section 124(1) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29); conspiracy to steal, contrary to Sections 23(1) and 124(1) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960; and defrauding by false pretences, contrary to Section 131(1) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29).
Some of the other charges against them are: wilfully causing financial loss to the state, contrary to Section 179A(3)(a) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29); using public office for profit, contrary to Section 179C(a) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29); and collaboration to commit a crime, to wit, using public office for profit, contrary to Section 179C(b) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29)”.
Additionally, Justice Srem Sai, the Deputy Attorney-General, has debunked rumours that the Attorney-General’s office has lost evidence in the ongoing criminal trial of the Republic v Adu-Boahene.
According to the Deputy Attorney-General, as of June 18, 2025, the Attorney-General’s office had filed all the documents which it intended to rely on to prove the charges against the four accused persons.
The deputy Attorney-General in a post on Facebook wrote, “As of June 18, we had filed all the documents which we intend to rely on to prove the charges against the 4 accused persons in the case.
The documents include contracts of sale, bank wire transfer records, bank account statements, company registration documents, property ownership records and purchase receipts, INTERPOL stolen vehicle records, investigative caution statements and charge statements of each accused person, records of asset non-declaration, a flow chat of money movements through a complex web of bank accounts, and testimonies of our 3 prosecution witnesses”.
Justice Srem Sai further added, “Further, court-certified copies of each of these documents have been duly served on each of the accused persons. So, it is not even realistic that the documents could be lost so as to jeopardise the prosecution of the case”.
The Deputy AG further revealed the current state of the trial, “ Before the start of the legal vacation on July 31, the first of our 3 prosecution witnesses had completed testifying and had been cross-examined by the lawyers of 3 of the 4 Accused Persons”.
