NSB Boss Saga: High Court Dismisses Request To Release Documents On Stolen Cars Allegedly Found Within Rental Fleet
The High Court in Accra has partially dismissed an application seeking to compel the Attorney-General’s office to provide information regarding claims of stolen cars allegedly found within the rental fleet of Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB).
In a ruling on Tuesday, July 29, Justice John Eugene Nyadu Nyanteh upheld arguments made by Deputy Attorney-General Dr. Justice Srem Sai. Dr. Sai contended that the requested documents, including bills of lading and port of entry information, were already in the possession of the accused.
However, the court did direct police investigators to directly provide the defense with all information in their possession related to the vehicles. This information is intended to assist Adu-Boahene in preparing his defense for the ongoing trial.
Adu-Boahene, along with his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng, and two others, stands accused of allegedly stealing GH₵49.1 million from the state in a purported deal to procure a cybersecurity system for Ghana. The application for information was filed by Adu-Boahene’s counsel, Samuel Atta Akyea, to address allegations that his client was selling stolen cars he had purchased.
Co-Accused, Mr. Nutifafa Ditches Atta Akyea For New Counsel
Meanwhile, Mildred Donkor, a co-accused in the case, has secured new legal representation. Mr. Nutifafa Nutsukpui announced himself as Donkor’s counsel when the case was called for hearing today. Donkor had previously indicated that she no longer required the services of Mr. Atta Akyea.
Before Mr. Atta Akyea could move his application, Mr. Nutsukpui requested an opportunity to review copies of the pending applications and any responses from the Attorney-General. However, the court denied this request, stating that Donkor is not illiterate and could reasonably be expected to have furnished her new counsel with all pending court processes.
The case has been adjourned to July 31, 2025, for continuation.
Charges Against the Accused
Adu-Boahene and Adjei-Boateng are accused of transferring GH₵49 million, originally allocated for the purchase of cybersecurity software for the state, into their private company, Advantage Solutions Limited (ASL). This was allegedly done through a complex network of companies ultimately owned by ASL.
Mildred Donkor, identified as a former bank relations officer for the couple and a director of ASL, is accused of assisting the couple in moving the money. The prosecution alleges that this money was subsequently used to acquire landed properties in Accra, Kumasi, and London, as well as other assets.
In total, the four accused persons—Kwabena Adu-Boahene, Angela Adjei-Boateng, Mildred Donkor, and Advantage Solutions Limited (ASL)—have pleaded not guilty to 11 counts of offenses. These charges include defrauding by false pretenses, wilfully causing financial loss to the state, using public office for personal gain, and obtaining public property by false pretenses.
