1st prosecution witness says he sent “Ghana Must Go” bags to Adu Boahen (L) and not his wife (R)
Frank Anane Dekpey, the first prosecution witness in the trial of former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu Boahene, his wife, and two others, has presented his testimony to the court hearing the case.
According to a report by graphiconline.com, Frank Anane Dekpey, who was a chauffeur, mounted the witness box on July 18, 2025, to testify on behalf of the state.
The report indicated that Anane Dekpey gave testimony on how he transferred money between the first accused in the case, Kwabena Adu Boahene, and the third accused, Mildred Donkor, a former relationship officer of UMB Bank.
The prosecution witness reportedly told the court that he mainly transferred the money to the accused persons using large “Ghana Must Go” bags.
He told the court that anytime he went to the bank on the instructions of the accused persons, the bank staff gave him a receipt to write his name, telephone number, and append his signature.
Anane Dekpey also told the court that he only sent the money he withdrew from the bank to either Adu Boahene or Mildred Donkor, and not to the second accused in the case, Adu Boahene’s wife, Angela Adjei Boateng.
“I normally took instructions from Mildred Donkor (former relationship officer of UMB Bank), with the envelope sealed, to the UMB Bank, Labone.
“Then I gave it to one of the employees and waited until the money was ready, then I picked it up,” the witness is quoted to have said.
The Office of the Attorney General slapped Kwabena Adu Boahene; his wife, Angela Adjei Boateng; their associate, Mildred Boateng; and a company jointly owned by Adu Boahene and his wife, Advantage Solutions Limited, with 11 charges for allegedly transferring GH¢49 million (approximately $7 million) from the bureau’s account to his personal account.
Addressing the press on Monday, March 24, 2025, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine stated that Adu Boahene was implicated in the unauthorised transfer of $7 million, originally allocated for cybersecurity infrastructure, into his private accounts.
“In his capacity as Director of the National Signals Bureau, Adu Boahene, on January 30, 2020, signed a contract on behalf of the Government of Ghana and the National Security on the one hand, and on the other hand, an Israeli company named RLC Holdings Limited. The contract was for the purchase of a cyber defense system software at a price of $7 million,” the Attorney General said.
