The Attorney General has filed written submissions in the High Court urging the Court to dismiss Former National Signals Bureau Boss, Kwabena Adu Boahene’s application of submission of no case. This follows the filing of a submission of no case by Kwabena Adu Boahene on the 25th of September after the close of the Prosecution’s case asking the Court to throw out the Republic’s case against him and acquit him of the charges.
In the 25-page submission, the Attorney General sketches out the essential evidence put before the Court that makes out the offences charged.
The accused persons, Kwabena Adu Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei Boateng and a company allegedly owned by the two, Advantage Solutions, are standing trial for 11 financial offences related to the alleged stealing of GHc49.1 million meant for the purchase of a cyber defense software for the State.
The Prosecution has closed its case.
The Prosecution in proving its case called 4 Witness.
First, a driver of the 1st accused, Frank Anane Dekpey who testified among other things, to running errands on behalf of 1st accused which involved the carrying of cash in “Ghana must go bags” for deposit and withdrawals upon 1st accused’s instructions,
The second witness, Head of Finance at the NSB, Ruby Adumoah Opoku testified as to the transfer of the GHc49.1 million from the account of the NSB into an account unknown to the entity.
The 3rd Prosecution witness, Mildred Donkor who’s is a Former employee of the accused persons testified that she operated a company set up by the accused persons to move funds and that the accused gave her pre-signed cheques for the purposes of moving these funds.
The 4th Prosecution witness Mr Frank Marshall Cromwell, an Investigator with the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) gave details about the nature of accounts created for the alleged diversion of the said funds, the investigations which unraveled the private expenditure by the accused persons and as well discredited the authenticity of a letter purporting to confirm the purchase of the cybersecurity software.
These pieces of evidence, the Attornry General says point decisively to the guilt of the accused persons.
“The above analyses of the law on the offences charged and the evidence adduced in Court shows that the Republic has supplied to the Court sufficient evidence to prove each of the essential ingredients of each of the offences charged. The evidence which the Republic adduced did not leave any of the allegations in equivocation. They all point decisively to guilt” the AG indicated in his adress to the Court.
Further, the Attorney General argues that the record of proceedings show that the accused persons’ cross-examination was “extraordinarily tangential” and did not disturb the essential documentary evidence which the Republic adduced.
For example at paragraph 60 of the written submission, the AG says the following about the cross examination of the 3rd Prosecution witness;
“The cross-examination of PW3 did not disturb the substance of her evidence on the transfers at all. It was rather directed at collateral matters including the lawyers present at her interrogation by EOCO, her salary, and A3’s pension payments (which this Court rejected as irrelevant – R4 and R5).”
The AG finally makes a prayer asking the Court to dismiss the accused persons’ submission of no case.
With all processes now filed by both the accused persons and the Republic, the Court is set to make a Ruling on Thursday, 5th November 2026 to determine whether the accused persons are acquitted of the charges or that the case of the Republic is upheld requiring the accused persons to open their defence if they wish to do so.
