High Court slashes former NSB Boss’ bail to GHS80m

The Accra High Court has reduced the bail condition for Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the embattled former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), from GHS120 million to GHS80 million.

However, his wife, Angela Adjei Boateng, continues to face bail set at GHS80 million, with two sureties required to be justified.

Both individuals are mandated to report to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) three times a week.

Additionally, their travel has been restricted, requiring express permission from EOCO for any trips.

The couple were in custody following an investigation by EOCO into allegations of embezzlement, fraud, and illicit financial transactions.

Adu-Boahene, who served as NSB Director-General from 2017 until February 2025, is accused of diverting millions of Ghanaian cedis of state funds into personal accounts.

Reacting to the court’s ruling, the couple’s legal representative, Samuel Atta Akyea, expressed optimism that his client would meet the revised bail conditions successfully.
