Attorney-General Dominic Ayine has filed formal charges against former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu Boahen, his wife Angela Adjei Boateng, and two others, Mildred Donkor and Advantage Solutions Limited over a corruption scandal involving approximately GHS 49 million.
The accused face 11 counts, including stealing, money laundering, defrauding by false pretences, and willfully causing financial loss to the state.
According to court documents filed at the High Court on April 30, Adu Boahen, while overseeing key national security infrastructure, signed a $7 million contract with Israeli firm ISC Holdings Limited for the supply of cyber defence software.
However, investigations revealed that no such system was ever delivered to the National Signals Bureau or the Government of Ghana.
Despite an initial payment of GHS 9.5 million to ISC Holdings, the remaining funds were allegedly diverted into Adu Boahen’s personal accounts and used for private investments.
The court documents describe an “elaborate criminal enterprise” involving the accused, who used Advantage Solutions Limited (A4) as a front to launder the stolen money.
Angela Boateng, a director of Advantage Solutions, and Donkor, a former bank officer managing the couple’s accounts, are accused of facilitating the illegal transactions.
The funds, according to the writ, were channeled through A4 and invested in treasury bills, real estate, fertiliser production, and a luxury car rental business targeting VIP clients.
Adu Boahen and his co-accused are expected to face trial as prosecutors push forward with the high-profile case.
