A video has gone viral of one of the high-value properties of the seized properties of former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene.
In the viral video, the narrator in the video revealed that the seized property is situated in Asokore Mampong.
The man driving by the car stated, “Herh in Ghana, people have misappropriated funds. Look at this building around Asokore Mampong, it is not easy, it’s not a small house. EOOCO has seized it. It states the “Property frozen BY EOCO”.
“It’s not a small house, big house. It has been seized”, he added.
Meanwhile, Kwabena Adu Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng, 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.
In court some weeks ago, the Supreme Court dismissed Adu Boahene’s legal team’s motion to prohibit Justice John Eugene Nyante Nyadu from presiding over the $49 million case.
The apex court unanimously dismissed the application to prohibit the presiding judge in the Kwabena Adu-Boahene trial from further hearing the case on grounds of bias.
The 5-member panel of justices of the apex court held that the application was without merit and did not meet the requirements to prohibit the trial judge.
It will be recalled that Samuel Atta Akyea, in court before the Supreme Court ruling, walked out of the High Court in Accra after the trial judge, Justice Eugene Nyadu Nyantei, refused to grant an adjournment.
Adu Boahene, lead counsel, had informed the court that his team had filed an application at the Supreme Court seeking to prohibit Justice Nyantei from continuing with the trial.
Atta Akyea requested that the proceedings be halted until the Supreme Court ruled on the matter.
However, his request was opposed by the prosecution, led by Principal State Attorney Esi Dentaa Yankah, who stated, “There is no rule of law that says that proceedings must be halted in order for counsel for the accused to be excused to pursue an interlocutory injunction”.
She highlighted that the defence had repeatedly used such tactics to delay the case.
Ms Yankah added, “It seems that the trend is developing that at every given step of this case, one motion or another is filed and a request for stay is made”.
“And you have made it abundantly clear and in accordance with established case law that the pendency of an interlocutory matter doesn’t justify the stay of proceedings. In counsel’s instant oral application for stay, he hasn’t made any effort to convince the court of any special reason why today’s proceedings should not continue. I pray that his request, though made, be disregarded so that the case can proceed.”
Justice Nyantei, after hearing from both sides, ruled that the filing of a prohibition application at the Supreme Court was not enough reason to suspend the ongoing proceedings.
The Judge’s ruling made Atta Akyea visibly displeased, and he gathered his team and walked out of the courtroom.
The Judge, unfazed, ordered the prosecution’s second witness to take the stand and continue her testimony.
Justice Nyantei also instructed Mr Adu Boahene to either recall his lawyers to court or proceed to represent himself. Following a brief recess, the former NSB Director informed the court that he had been unable to reach his legal team.
The judge subsequently granted Adu Boahene’s request for an adjournment,
