Justice Srem-Sai, the Deputy Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, has expressed confidence that justice will be served to both the accused persons and the Republic in the trial involving former Director-General of the Cyber Security Authority, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, and two others.
The Deputy AG, in a social media post, revealed that the state is looking forward to closing its case next week in the matter, in the alleged stealing of GH¢49.1 million from a government bank account.
Justice Srem-Sai, in his post, wrote, “We look forward to closing our case in The Republic v Kwabena Adu-Boahene & 2 Others next week. In the case, the principal accused person is being tried for stealing Ghc 49.1 million from a government bank account.
Our hardworking state attorneys and EOCO investigators have already placed the following body of evidence before the trial court:
▪️Evidence that the Ghc 49.1 million is Government of Ghana money in a government agency bank account. No dispute in court over its source.
▪️Evidence that the principal accused person created a fresh bank account (on the day of the first cheque) in the name of his private company to mimic the name of a government agency.
▪️Evidence that the principal accused person carefully diverted 3 cheques which were meant for a government agency into the private bank account.
▪️Detailed evidence of how, within 6 months, the principal accused person spent each pesewa of the money, buying houses in prime locations and luxury cars for himself, family and friends.
▪️Purchase receipts, bank statements, ownership documents, containing dates, amount, names, etc., evidencing the bank transfers, purchases and payments, etc.
▪️Evidence that the accused persons initially denied knowledge and ownership of some of their own companies, bank accounts and the luxury properties, but later, upon confrontation, admitted them.
▪️Evidence that the principal accused person deliberately misled the public when he said that he used the Ghc 49.1 million for fund political campaigns in 2024.
▪️Evidence that the principal accused person was forced to close that bank account when his own bankers flagged the bank account as “suspicious”.
▪️Evidence that the equipment which the principal accused person claimed he was going to use or used the money to buy was never bought.
▪️ Evidence of forged purchase receipts for the said equipment – in an attempt to conceal the fact that the equipment was never bought.
We believe that justice will be served to both the accused persons and our beloved Republic at the end of the day”.
Meanwhile, Samuel Atta Akyea, a lawyer for embattled former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu Boahene, has said that the EOCO investigation into his client was just a mere “fishing expedition”.
Adu Boahene’s lawyer discredited the evidence presented by Frank Marshal Cromwell, the lead investigator from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
According to Atta Akyea, the testimony of the EOCO officer showed that he had no understanding of national security matters.
Atta Akyea asserted that the investigation into the allegations against his client was a mere “fishing expedition”, arguing that the matter should have been referred to the national security apparatus in the first place and not any other security agency.
Speaking to the media on proceedings in the case on Monday, July 6, 2026, Atta Akyea stated, “He would have had an internal understanding of what works in national security. Because you could see he said he was trying to interpret a national security account, but he did not go and talk to the account owner for him to understand what the account was about. What kind of investigation would that be?
“So, I believe that this is showing that this case is a national security matter. The people purporting to understand national security issues, they don’t work in that space, and you cannot secure a conviction on another man’s ignorance,” he fumed.
He added, “It’s bogus. It means that you can misinterpret what you saw if you don’t reference it to those who know. We are now talking about an account identifier. So, they have an account identifier, which is Director BNC, and the account owner, the National Security Coordinator, and he didn’t know that difference. It is sad.”
Atta Akyea further claimed that the investigation into the allegations against his client was a mere “fishing expedition.”
“It was a fishing expedition; it was not evidence-based. It was rumour-based. The tip-off should have been referable to national security. Monies are missing in Jubilee House. Where do you go? Chief of Staff… That’s the nonsense of the case,” he ranted.
He further called on the Chief Justice, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, to grant his request for a live telecast of the proceedings.
