Samuel Atta Akyea, lawyer for Kwabena Adu-Boahen, has said his client’s remand contradicts public comments by Attorney General Dr. Dominic Ayine, who claimed that sufficient evidence exists to convict Adu-Boahen.
Adu-Boahen, the former head of the National Signals Bureau, was remanded by an Accra High Court on Friday, May 2, 2025, into the custody of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for seven days.
The Attorney General had requested the remand, citing intelligence that Adu-Boahen attempted to interfere with a key prosecution witness in the ongoing case of alleged theft.
But in an interview with Citi News, Atta Akyea argued that the remand was not based on concrete evidence of witness tampering.
“If there is anything he [the Attorney General] wants us to do outside the trial, he should find a better way of doing it. Because I am scared that the kind of propaganda that is in the public space can put any kind of spine or interpretation of any kind of engagement we want to do. So we have to be very careful,” he said.
