Justice John Nyadu Nyante has overruled an objection in the ongoing GHS49 million theft case, affirming that the Attorney General, constitutionally empowered to prosecute, does not require the court’s consent to withdraw charges.
The ruling paved the way for the discharge of the third accused, Mildred Donkor. The court further directed that all records about her be expunged from its files.
This development follows a decision by Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, to discontinue prosecution against Mildred Donkor. A formal notice filed at the High Court in Accra on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, confirmed that Ms. Donkor was discharged under Section 59 of the Criminal and Other Offences (Procedure) Act, 1960 (Act 30). The discharge comes after she reportedly agreed to serve as a prosecution witness.
Ms. Donkor’s testimony is expected to provide crucial insight into the alleged theft and misappropriation of GHS49 million in state funds, a case involving former National Signals Bureau boss, Kwabena Adu-Boahene (1st accused), his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng (2nd accused), and their company, Advantage Solutions Limited (4th accused).
Her role in the proceedings shifted notably in July, when she abruptly dismissed her lawyer in open court—just moments before the prosecution was set to call its first witness.
