The prosecution has closed its case in the trial of former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, and his wife over allegations involving the dissipation of GH¢49.1 million.
The closure means the atate has concluded the presentation of evidence in support of the charges brought against the two accused persons.
Defense counsel Samuel Atta Akyea has indicated that the accused persons will file a submission of no case to answer, challenging the prosecution’s evidence and raising concerns about the investigator’s alleged failure to independently verify key claims presented in the case.
The court has directed the defense to file its submission by September 25, after which the prosecution will have 14 days to respond.
The case has subsequently been adjourned to November 5, 2026, for the court’s ruling on the submission.
Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his wife are facing several charges, including stealing, conspiracy to steal, defrauding by false pretences and wilfully causing financial loss to the State.
They are also charged with using public office for profit, collaboration to use public office for profit, obtaining public property by false statements, money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
