Deputy A-G: No evidence lost in GH¢49m Adu-Boahene trial

Deputy Attorney-General Justice Srem Sai has dismissed reports suggesting that key evidence in the ongoing trial of former National Signals Bureau (NSB) boss, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, has been lost.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, August 28, Mr. Srem Sai said the Office of the Attorney-General has all documents intact and filed as of June 18, 2025, to support the prosecution of the four accused persons in the case.

“The documents include contracts of sale, bank wire transfer records, bank account statements, company registration documents, property ownership records and purchase receipts, INTERPOL stolen vehicle records, investigative caution statements and charge statements of each Accused Person, records of asset non-declaration, a flow chart of money movements through a complex web of bank accounts, and testimonies of our three witnesses,” he noted.

He added that certified court copies of each of these documents had also been duly served on the accused persons, stressing that “it is not even realistic that the documents could be lost so as to jeopardise the prosecution of the case.”

On the progress of the trial, Mr. Srem Sai explained that before the start of the legal vacation on July 31, the first of the three prosecution witnesses had completed testifying and had been cross-examined by lawyers for three of the four accused persons. He said the case will resume in mid-October when the courts return from vacation.

Adu-Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng, their associate Mildred Donkor, and their jointly owned company, Advantage Solutions Limited, are facing charges of stealing, conspiracy, and causing financial loss to the state.

The charges stem from the alleged diversion of GH¢49.1 million from the Bureau of National Communications (BNC), the predecessor to the NSB, under the guise of purchasing a cyber defence system that investigators say was never delivered.
