Court Orders Adu-Boahene, Wife and Company to Face Trial on Eight Charges in GH¢49.1 Million NSB Cas

A court has ruled that former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene, his wife and their company must answer to eight out of the 11 criminal charges brought against them in the ongoing GH¢49.1 million NSB case.

The decision follows the court’s determination of a submission of no case filed by the accused persons, who had challenged whether the prosecution had presented sufficient evidence to require them to open their defence.

In its ruling, the court dismissed the no-case submission in respect of eight charges, indicating that the prosecution had established enough evidence on those counts for the accused persons to respond to the allegations.

However, the ruling means that the remaining three charges will not proceed against them at this stage.

The case centres on allegations involving approximately GH¢49.1 million in public funds linked to the National Signals Bureau. Adu-Boahene, his wife and their company are facing prosecution over their alleged involvement in the financial transactions under investigation.

The latest development marks a significant stage in the high-profile case, as the accused persons will now be required to answer to the eight charges that survived the court’s assessment.

The proceedings are expected to continue as the court determines the next steps in the trial.

The accused persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction.
