CCTV footage allegedly shows the wife of ex-NSB boss Kwabena Adu Boahene carting suitcases suspected to contain money after his arrest.

CCTV footage has captured the wife of embattled former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu Boahene, carting suitcases suspected to contain foreign currency following his arrest.

This was revealed in court by Deputy Attorney General Dr. Justice Srem Sai on Friday, March 28, 2025. Dr. Srem Sai, presenting the case in an Accra Human Rights Court, argued that Angela Adjei Boateng’s actions suggested an attempt to destroy crucial evidence linked to the alleged embezzlement of state funds. On the night she was informed of her husband’s arrest, the footage reportedly shows her hurriedly handling the suitcases. The allegations that Adu Boahene took money from a $7 million cyber defense contract that Ghana and the Israeli company RLC Holdings Limited signed in 2020 are the basis of the case against him. Investigations suggest that, instead of funding the critical national security project, a significant portion of the money was diverted for personal use.

On the night she was informed of her husband’s arrest, the footage reportedly shows her hurriedly handling the suitcases. The case against Adu Boahene stems from allegations that he misappropriated funds from a $7 million cyber defense contract signed between Ghana and Israeli firm RLC Holdings Limited in 2020.

According to investigations, a significant amount of the funds were diverted for personal use rather than being used to fund the crucial national security project.

According to the Attorney General’s office, on February 6, 2020—just days after finalizing the contract—Adu Boahene allegedly transferred GH¢27.1 million from the NSB’s Fidelity Bank account into a private UMB account under BNC, a company he co-owns with his wife. The funds were reportedly laundered through real estate investments both locally and internationally.

Their legal team challenged the initial bail conditions, arguing that they were excessive, following their arrest.

Following their arrest, their legal team challenged the initial bail conditions, claiming they were excessive.

On Friday, the court reduced Adu Boahene’s bail from GH¢120 million to GH¢80 million, with two sureties, one to be justified.

However, his wife’s bail remains at GH¢80 million. The couple has also been placed under movement restrictions and must report to EOCO three times a week.

Even though the bail was reduced, the prosecution insists that the couple is a flight risk and claims that they may have passports from other countries in addition to their Ghanaian ones.
