Adu-Boahene’s Lawyer Challenges Prosecution In GH¢49.1m Case

According to a report by TV3Gh, on Monday October 26, 2026, Counsel for former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene has filed a motion at the High Court seeking to have portions of the prosecution’s submissions in the GH¢49.1 million cybersecurity software theft case struck out.

The defence lawyer is challenging aspects of the prosecution’s arguments, contending that some of the statements made do not reflect or find support in the official records of the court proceedings.

The application seeks to persuade the court to remove the disputed portions from the prosecution’s submissions on the grounds that they are not borne out by the evidence and records before the court.

The motion marks another development in the ongoing legal battle surrounding allegations of financial wrongdoing involving cybersecurity software funds estimated at GH¢49.1 million.

At the centre of the application is the defence’s position that arguments presented by the prosecution must remain consistent with the evidence and proceedings documented in the case.

By asking the court to strike out the contested portions, counsel is seeking to ensure that the prosecution’s submissions are assessed against what is actually contained in the court record.

The High Court will have to consider the grounds advanced by the defence and determine whether the disputed statements should remain part of the prosecution’s submissions or be expunged as requested.

The application, however, does not in itself amount to a determination of the substantive allegations against Adu-Boahene. Its immediate focus is on the content of the prosecution’s submissions and whether the challenged portions are supported by the court record.

The GH¢49.1 million cybersecurity software case has attracted public attention because of the substantial amount involved and the allegations surrounding the acquisition and handling of funds linked to the software.

As the proceedings continue, the court’s consideration of the defence motion could become an important procedural step in determining how the prosecution’s arguments are treated in the case.

The outcome of the application will depend on the court’s assessment of the disputed submissions and the reasons presented by Adu-Boahene’s counsel.

For now, the central issue before the court is whether the portions challenged by the defence should be allowed to stand, with the substantive case remaining subject to the judicial process.
