The Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, on October 16, 2025, withdrew all charges levelled against one of the accused persons in the ongoing criminal case involving the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene, after she agreed to testify for the state.
In the six-page document signed by the Deputy Attorney General, Dr Justice Srem Sai, it detailed how the freed accused person, Mildred Donkor, became involved in Adu-Boahene’s scandal and how she allegedly operated under the influence of the latter.
In the document, Mildred Donkor claimed that Adu-Boahene (1st Accused), Angela Adjei Boaten (2nd Accused person), were solely in charge of the operation of their business, Advantage Solutions Limited (4th Accused person), and another firm identified as BNC Communications Limited.
In her witness statement, Donkor alleged that it all started when Adu-Boahene requested that she become a director of Advantage Solutions Limited when he couldn’t meet the registration requirements when he wanted to open a bank account for his business.

“… This was sometimes in the year 2010. At the time of opening the account for (A4), A4 could not meet the minimum requirement for two directors. A4 had only one director, as the other director on A4’s record was deceased. To satisfy the minimum directorship requirement for A4, A1 requested that I become the second director, which I consented to. I put my name down as the second director. That is how I became a director of A4,” the document reads.
Donkor further noted, in detail on page two of the document, how she ended up working for Adu-Boahene after she resigned from UMB in July 2018.
According to her, she didn’t receive a letter of appointment at Advantage Solutions Limited, and also was not given specific duties, hence she acted on ad hoc instructions from Adu-Boahene and Angela Adjei Boaten (2nd Accused person).
“I never received a letter of employment or appointment at A4. Therefore, I was not given specific duties nor formal terms of employment. I only acted on ad hoc instructions from A1 and A2. However, I was paid a monthly stipend. For instance, I was paid Three Thousand One Hundred and Thirty-Seven Ghana cedis (GH¢3,137) up to January 2021,” she said. The
Donkor also told the prosecutors that she managed several transactions on behalf of the accused persons, including withdrawal and delivery of a large cash sum from bank accounts belonging to Advantage Solutions Limited and another firm, BNC Communication Bureau Limited, a company she also created for the accused person and equally played a role as a director.
She added that Adu-Boahene and Adjei Boateng provided her with pre-signed blank cheque books, allowing her to withdraw sums ranging from GH¢2,000 to GH¢1 million.
Donkor included that she sometimes sent sums of money to Adu-Boahene’s mother for their building project in Kumasi, identified as “Kumasi Project”.

“A1 and A2, from time to time, instructed me to carry out tasks on their behalf in respect of A4. For example, they had, on one occasion, instructed me to facilitate the payment of cheques signed by A1 and A2 to third parties… When I withdrew such cheques, I delivered the monies either A1 or A2. Sometimes, too, I transfer the monies to Madam Margaret Aba Donkor at her request,” she added.
The freed accused person further noted that, “Throughout my work with A1 and A2, I took no major decisions – whether financial, operations, or strategic – on my own. I followed the decisions and instructions of A1 or A2. Throughout my works with A4, I was never invited to, neither did I ever attend, a board of directors’ meeting. I was never a signatory to any bank account.”
