Samuel Atta Akyea, lawyer for former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene, has rejected claims that he has abandoned his client amid a dispute over evidence in the ongoing case.
In a statement dated September 10, 2026, Mr Atta Akyea described social media reports suggesting that he had withdrawn from the case as “wretched and vile propaganda”.
“My attention has been drawn to some wretched and vile propaganda circulating on social media that I have abandoned my clients,” he said.
The lawyer said the claims were linked to allegations by the prosecution that a document relied on by the defence was fake.
He maintained that the disputed document was admitted into evidence without objection before Justice Francis Apangabuno Achibanga, sitting as an additional High Court judge.
“I cannot abandon or disown my client,” Mr Atta Akyea said, adding that his legal team was preparing a “very solid and credible submission of no case”.
He said the defence remained committed to challenging the allegations in court, stressing that matters of evidence and law should be determined in court rather than on social media.
“Kwabena Adu-Boahene’s case was launched on the platform of media trial, where lies sell. The court is the forum where evidence and law should settle vexed matters,” he said.
Mr Adu-Boahene and Angela Adjei Boateng, together with Advantage Solutions Ltd., are facing prosecution in the case, with the defence continuing to challenge the allegations against them.
Mr Atta Akyea expressed confidence in the defence’s submission of no case, describing the allegations as “sordid”.
