The Attorney-General’s Office is preparing to file a series of criminal charges against several former public officials, including Kwabena Adu Boahene, former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), and his wife. Apexnewsgh reports
Sources indicate that the charges will relate to alleged serious offences committed against the state.
The development follows a growing crackdown on corruption and abuse of office. According to reliable sources, Adu Boahene may also face charges in connection with a previously undisclosed GHS60 million fraud allegedly perpetrated against another state agency.
The Minister of Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, is scheduled to announce the charges at a press conference to be held at the Information Services Department conference room today at 12 pm. This would be in addition to matters publicly disclosed during a recent press conference by the Attorney-General, based on findings from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
In a surprising turn, Adu Boahene has responded to those public disclosures with a civil defamation suit against Dr. Ayine, alleging that the statements made at the press briefing were prejudicial and damaging to his reputation.
The upcoming legal action by the Attorney-General’s Office comes in the wake of 15 criminal charges filed by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) against a former Presidential Staffer and Secretary to the now-defunct Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCM). Government sources indicate that the move forms part of a broader effort to hold public officeholders accountable and strengthen confidence in state institutions.
The Attorney-General’s Office has not yet released an official statement on the specific charges or timeline, but legal and political analysts anticipate a high-profile legal showdown in the coming days. The development is seen as a significant step in the fight against corruption and abuse of office in Ghana.
