Outspoken cleric Prophet Dr. Kofi Oduro, founder of Alabaster International Ministries, has voiced strong condemnation over allegations of corruption involving former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General, Kwabena Adu-Boahene. Addressing his congregation, Prophet Oduro expressed shock and disbelief at reports that Adu-Boahene and his wife allegedly embezzled $7 million meant for Ghana’s cyber defense system.
The fiery preacher did not hold back as he criticized individuals who misuse public funds while presenting themselves as religious and morally upright.
“How can one person look in the faces of Ghanaians and steal $7 million, one person and his wife? What are they using it for?” Prophet Oduro questioned, his voice filled with outrage.
He further lamented the hypocrisy of some public figures, stating that many who engage in such corrupt activities frequently reference the Bible or Quran in Parliament or on church pulpits.
“The people who are stealing Ghana’s money are not only politicians but also people who stand on the pulpit. One person can buy about 30 properties while the nation struggles. They are worse than the politicians,” he declared.
According to reports from the Attorney General’s office, Adu-Boahene allegedly siphoned funds from a $7 million cyber defense contract signed in January 2020 between the Government of Ghana and RLC Holdings Limited, an Israeli company.
Investigators claim that instead of using the money for its intended purpose, Adu-Boahene transferred a significant portion into his private accounts. Official records indicate that on February 6, 2020, he moved an initial sum of GH¢27,100,000 from the NSB’s account at Fidelity Bank to a personal account. The former security chief and his wife are also accused of using the stolen funds to acquire multiple properties in Ghana and abroad, raising concerns over money laundering.
Prophet Oduro, known for his bold sermons on morality and accountability, warned of the spiritual consequences of corruption.
“These men are playing with God,” he cautioned. “One person stealing $7 million and then going to church singing ‘I am a friend of God’—how is that possible? If they truly understand the word of God, they would never engage in such wicked acts.”
His remarks have added to the ongoing national debate on corruption, particularly regarding high-ranking officials entrusted with public funds. With investigations still unfolding, Ghanaians await further updates on the fate of Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his alleged involvement in one of the country’s latest corruption scandals.
