Kwabena Adu-Boahene is a former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau
The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has arrested Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), an agency under the National Security Council.
The arrest was carried out under a joint operation between investigators from EOCO and the Attorney-General’s Department at the Kotoka International Airport on the evening of Thursday, March 20, 2025.
GhanaWeb sources at the airport revealed that the operation was personally overseen by EOCO’s Acting Deputy Executive Director, Raymond Archer, who was seen at the airport for several hours prior to the arrest.
While EOCO has remained tight-lipped about the details, airport staff indicate that Kwabena Adu-Boahene, a prominent national security figure in the previous administration, may be facing serious allegations.
According to sources, he was intercepted upon arrival on a British Airways flight from Heathrow, London. EOCO operatives, armed with an arrest warrant, took him into custody.
The warrant suggests he is being investigated for multiple financial crimes, including money laundering, fraud, misappropriation of public funds, and causing financial loss to the state.
This high-profile arrest is expected to send shockwaves through Ghana’s intelligence and security community, as the NSB is one of the country’s most powerful national security agencies.
The bust also marks a major breakthrough for President John Mahama’s Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) initiative, which aims to reclaim state resources lost to corruption.
