The Accra High Court has ordered that the former Signals Bureau Director Kwabena Adu-Boahene be remanded into the custody of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for seven working days.
The court says his remand is to enable the Attorney-General complete the preparation of his witness’ statements.
His wife and the third accused person, Mildred Donkor are to remain on their existing bail terms.
Presiding judge, Justice Eugene Nyadu Nyante on Friday, May 2, 2025, held an in-camera meeting with the Attorney-General and lawyers of Kwabena Adu-Boahene and the three other accused persons.
Led by the Deputy A-G, Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, the prosecutor argued that the former Signals Bureau Director had the potential to interfere with investigations.
Former Director of the Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, his wife, and two others have been formally charged with a total of ten offenses, including stealing, causing financial loss to the state, and money laundering.
Adu Boahene is accused of dishonestly appropriating approximately GH¢49,100,000.00 under the false pretense of procuring a cyber defense system for the Republic of Ghana.
The alleged offenses occurred between February and March 2020.
Angela Adjei Boateng, Adu-Boahene’s wife, is charged with conspiracy to steal and collaboration to commit a crime, specifically, using public office for profit.
Mildred Donkor and Advantage Solutions Limited are also implicated in the alleged offenses, facing charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
