Former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General, Kwabena Adu Boahene, insists he is innocent despite facing allegations of state fund embezzlement by the Attorney General (A-G).

His latest court appearance on Friday, March 28 led to a bail reduction from GH¢120 million to GH¢80 million.

While being escorted in handcuffs, Joy News' journalist asked,"Are you sure you’re going to come out innocent?"

"Definitely, I have not been charged with anything yet, none whatsoever," he added.

Adu Boahene faces claims of misappropriating $7 million intended for a cyber defense system and allegedly using real estate transactions to launder funds. He was arrested at Kotoka International Airport (KIA) upon his return from London.

His wife, Angela Adjei Boateng, was also taken into custody, as authorities suspect she played a role in managing a private company that was allegedly used to divert state funds.

In court, Deputy Attorney-General Justice Srem Sai stated that on the night of Adu Boahene’s arrest, his wife attempted to destroy evidence by packing large sums of money into suitcases.

Attorney-General Dr. Dominic Ayine maintains that the case against Adu-Boahene is strong, but his lawyer, Samuel Atta Akyea, is actively working to prove his innocence.

Angela Adjei Boateng’s bail remains at GH¢80 million, requiring two sureties who must justify the amount.

Both are required to report to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) three times a week and are banned from traveling unless EOCO grants them permission.

The couple, who were arrested last week, challenged their bail conditions in the Human Rights Court, arguing that they were excessively high.

Their lawyer, Samuel Atta Akyea, argued that setting Adu-Boahene’s bail at GH¢120 million and his wife’s at GH¢80 million was unnecessarily harsh and seemed like a tactic to keep them detained.

On Friday, March 28, he successfully secured a reduction in the bail terms.

However, Deputy Attorney-General Justice Srem Sai opposed the move, warning that the couple posed a flight risk as authorities were investigating whether they held foreign passports in addition to their Ghanaian ones.
