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

In the Ashanti Region, which is the stronghold of the opposition, New Patriotic Party (NPP), the poll showed that 56% of voters approve of his performance, while approval stands at 64% in the Eastern Region and 65% in the North East Region.
The poll also indicates that a majority of party affiliates back the president’s performance, except for supporters of the NPP.
In the direction of the country, 65% of respondents in the survey noted that Ghana is headed in the right direction, though there was a marginal drop from 66% in the previous quarter.
