Kwabena Adu-Boahene, former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau
An Accra High Court has revised the bail conditions for former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, reducing the amount from GH¢120 million to GH¢80 million with two sureties, one to be justified.
Additionally, the court has imposed travel restrictions on the couple and mandated them to report to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) three times a week, according to a report by MyJoyOnline.com.
During court proceedings on Friday, March 28, 2025, the couple’s lawyer, Samuel Atta Akyea, argued that the initial bail sum of GH¢120 million for Adu-Boahene and GH¢80 million for his wife was excessive and appeared designed to circumvent constitutional detention limits.
However, Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem Sai opposed the appeal, stating that the two were flight risks as authorities were investigating whether they possessed foreign passports in addition to their Ghanaian passports.
Justice Srem Sai also informed the court that Adu-Boahene’s wife, Angela Agyei-Boateng, allegedly attempted to destroy evidence by loading suspected currency bills into suitcases on the night she was notified of her husband’s arrest.
Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his wife were arrested in connection with an alleged financial scandal involving a $7 million cyber defense system contract.
