Attorney General Dr. Dominic Ayine has made a startling revelation about former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu Boahen’s alleged involvement in a $7 million scheme that defrauded the state.
Speaking at a press conference today, Dr. Ayine said, meticulous investigations by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) uncovered the scheme.
He stated, “Meticulous investigations undertaken by the Economic and Organised Crime Office had uncovered a scheme by Mr. Adu Boahene that resulted in the loss of $7 million.”
He further emphasized, “I can now confirm that at the conclusion of our investigation, that is how much he stole from the taxpayers of this country.”
The state has filed 11 criminal charges against Adu Boahen, his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng, and two others, including stealing, defrauding, money laundering, and conspiracy.
Investigations revealed that the accused allegedly used their positions to channel state resources through private entities, causing significant financial loss. Some of the diverted funds were used to finance businesses owned by Adu Boahen and his wife.
Adu Boahen and his wife were arrested on March 20 and 21, respectively. The case is expected to proceed in court soon, with the state pursuing justice in this high-profile matter.
