NSB GH₵49 Million Case: Three Witnesses Support Attorney-General’s Charges Against Adu-Boahene and Others

Published

on

The trial of Kwabena Adu-Boahene, former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng, their associate Mildred Donkor, and their company, Advantage Solutions Limited, has advanced as three key witnesses provided detailed testimonies in court.

The four are facing multiple charges, including stealing, causing financial loss to the state, and conspiracy. These charges relate to the alleged misappropriation of GH₵49.1 million in public funds, reportedly meant for the purchase of a cyber defense system that was never delivered.

According to the prosecution, the case is based on statements from lead investigator Frank Marshall Cromwell, NSB’s Director of Finance Edith Ruby Opokua Adumua, and Frank Anane Dekpey, an assistant to the accused persons.

The court proceedings are expected to reveal more information about the alleged financial misconduct and how the public funds were diverted.

Flow of Funds

Frank Anane Dekpey, who worked as an errand assistant to the accused, shared how he was instructed by Mildred Donkor (third accused) to deposit and withdraw cash from UMB Bank and Stanbic Bank. He was then directed to deliver the money to Kwabena Adu-Boahene.

He testified that he often visited the Labone branch of UMB Bank and the Airport branch of Stanbic Bank. Following instructions from Donkor, he would withdraw or deposit funds, which were usually delivered in large bags and sealed envelopes.

“A3 (Mildred Donkor) often sent me to deposit or withdraw money at UMB Bank or Stanbic Bank for A1 (Adu-Boahene). I usually delivered the money to his office near Metro TV in Labone. The cheques were usually sealed in envelopes, and I was often directed to a specific bank staff member to cash them. I didn’t know the exact amounts I was carrying, but I signed receipts and provided my contact details at the bank,” Dekpey said.

EOCO Investigation Findings

Frank Marshall Cromwell, an investigator at the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), described the findings of their investigation, which began in March 2025 after a tip-off.

He testified that in January 2020, Adu-Boahene signed a contract worth US$7 million with ISC Holdings Limited, an Israeli company, for a cyber defense system. However, investigations revealed that the funds—equivalent to GH₵49.1 million—were instead moved from the Bureau of National Communications’ (BNC) Fidelity Bank account to a private account named “BNC Communications Bureau Limited – Operations” at UMB Bank.

“Out of the GH₵49.1 million, only GH₵9.5 million (US$1.75 million) was transferred to ISC Holdings. No further payments were made. A1 (Adu-Boahene) then made several large cash withdrawals for personal use and allowed A3 (Donkor) to make similar withdrawals. These funds were often moved using large bags and facilitated by Frank Anane Dekpey, who confirmed these actions in a police statement,” Cromwell said.

EOCO has secured bank statements and authorizations that show the timeline and amounts of the transactions.

Finance Director’s Testimony

Edith Ruby Opokua Adumua, NSB’s Director of Finance, explained how she was directed by Adu-Boahene to write large cheques labeled “BNC Operations.” As the keeper of BNC’s cheque books, she followed instructions to prepare and deposit cheques totaling over GH₵49 million.

“On March 18, 2020, I wrote a cheque for GH₵1 million. On March 30, 2020, I wrote another for GH₵21 million, all on the instructions of A1. He later gave me an account number and asked me to deposit the cheques into the ‘BNC Operations’ account at UMB Bank. I assumed it was an official BNC account that I did not have clearance to access. Although I found the instructions unusual, I followed them due to the need-to-know policy in our office,” she stated.

Adumua confirmed to the court that she could identify the cheques involved in the transactions and confirmed they were written under the direction of Adu-Boahene.

Ghana to Host UN High-Level Reparatory Justice Event — Mahama Calls for Historical Accountability

Published

on

Ghana is set to host a high-level special event on reparatory justice later this month at the United Nations, reinforcing global calls for justice for the transatlantic slave trade and racialized chattel enslavement of Africans.

During a state luncheon held in honor of visiting Prime Minister of Saint Kitts and Nevis, Hon. Dr. Terrance Michael Drew, President John Dramani Mahama emphasized that the initiative is not about charity but about historical justice and accountability.

Speaking on the significance of the event, President Mahama said the legacy of slavery continues to shape global inequalities and must be addressed through collective international action.

“The transatlantic and racialized chattel enslavement of Africans constitutes one of the gravest crimes against humanity in history,” President Mahama stated. “Our call is not for charity. It is for justice rooted in truth, accountability, and recognition of the suffering endured by our ancestors.”

According to the President, the upcoming UN event will provide a platform for African and Caribbean nations to shape their own narrative about historical injustices. He stressed the importance of unity between Africa and the Caribbean in advancing reparatory justice discussions.

“It is time for our story to be told by us — grounded in truth, anchored in historical accountability, and driven by the determination to correct the injustices of the past,” he said.

Mahama further urged stronger solidarity between African and Caribbean nations, noting that shared historical experiences should translate into stronger diplomatic and policy collaboration.

“Together, Africa and the Caribbean must speak with one voice, with clarity, unity, and strong moral conviction,” he added.

The Ghanaian government believes that the event will strengthen global dialogue on reparatory justice, development cooperation, and cultural restoration. Officials say the initiative aligns with broader efforts to promote historical recognition and sustainable partnerships between nations affected by the transatlantic slave trade.

Duabo King Arrested for Claiming Police Personnel Patronize Prostitutes More Than Any Sector

Published

on

The Ghana Police Service has arrested a 45-year-old social media personality, Isaac Boafo, popularly known as “Duabo King,” for allegedly publishing false news with intent to cause fear and panic.

 

In a press release issued on March 1, 2026, the Ashanti Regional Police Command confirmed that the suspect was apprehended following a viral TikTok video in which he alleged that four officers stationed at the Central Police Station in Kumasi engaged in inappropriate conduct with commercial sex workers during night patrol duties at Asafo.

 

Duabo King had claimed in the video that personnel within the Ghana Police Service patronizes prostitutes more than any other sector in the country. He further alleged that if the government were to shut down prostitution, popularly known in West African Pidgin as “ashawo”, it would significantly affect the Service because its personnel patronizes the trade the most.

 

According to the statement signed by Deputy Superintendent of Police Godwin Ahianyo, Head of the Public Affairs Unit for the Ashanti Region, officers from the Police Intelligence Directorate acted on intelligence to arrest the suspect.

 

During interrogation, Isaac Boafo admitted publishing the video and described himself as a social media content creator who made the allegations solely to attract views and online engagement. He further acknowledged that he could not substantiate the claims made against the officers.

 

The Police added that the suspect also admitted making comments concerning the President of the Republic for content creation purposes and stated that he could not defend those statements.

 

He has since been formally charged and detained to assist with further investigations.

The Service cautioned the public against the publication and circulation of false information, especially on social media, warning that such acts have the potential to cause unnecessary fear, panic, and reputational damage. Individuals found engaging in such conduct, the statement noted, will be dealt with in accordance with the law.
