Kwabena Adu Boahene, the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), has been accused of embezzling state funds and laundering the money through real estate investments in Accra and abroad. Apexnewsgh reports
The allegations, made public by Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, have sent shockwaves through the nation.
According to Dr. Ayine, Adu Boahene invested a staggering $2,217,815 million in properties, raising concerns about the source of the funds. The investigation, which led to Adu Boahene’s arrest, is linked to a $7 million cyber defense system contract signed on January 30, 2020. The contract, intended to enhance Ghana’s cybersecurity capabilities, was allegedly manipulated for personal gain.
Adu Boahene’s arrest was carried out by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) at the Kotoka International Airport on March 20, 2025. He was intercepted upon arrival from London and taken into custody.
As the investigation unfolds, it has been revealed that Adu Boahene established a private business that mirrored the operations of the NSB, which he managed alongside his wife. This raises questions about the misuse of public office for personal gain.
The Deputy Attorney-General, Dr. Justice Srem Sai, has emphasized the importance of due process, stating that Adu Boahene should not be treated as guilty until proven so by a court of law. Adu Boahene and his wife are currently assisting investigators and have access to counsel of their choice.
As the nation waits with bated breath for the outcome of the investigation, one thing is clear: the allegations against Adu Boahene have sparked a renewed call for accountability and transparency in public office.
