Trial of former NSB boss intensifies as witnesses reveal GH¢49.1 million diversion

The prosecution of former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng, their associate Mildred Donkor, and their jointly owned company, Advantage Solutions Limited, has taken a dramatic turn as key witnesses provide detailed testimonies in court.

The four are facing multiple charges, including stealing, causing financial loss to the state, and conspiracy, in connection with the alleged diversion of GH¢49.1 million in public funds.

At the heart of the case is the accusation that GH¢49,100,000.00 was siphoned from the Bureau of National Communications (BNC), the predecessor to NSB under the pretense of purchasing a cyber defence system that investigators claim was never delivered.

The prosecution has relied on witness statements from Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) lead investigator Frank Marshall Cromwell, NSB Director of Finance Edith Ruby Opokua Adumua, and errand assistant Frank Anane Dekpey, who provided key insights into the financial transactions.

Frank Marshall Cromwell, an EOCO investigator and Staff Officer, testified that investigations began in March 2025 following a tip-off.

His probe uncovered that Mr. Adu-Boahene had signed an international contract in January 2020 with Israeli firm ISC Holdings Limited for a US$7 million cyber defence system.

However, EOCO’s findings indicate that Adu-Boahene diverted the equivalent of GH¢49.1 million from the BNC’s Fidelity Bank account into a private account named “BNC Communications Bureau Limited – Operations” at UMB Bank.

According to Cromwell, this UMB account was created just one day before the first of three cheques amounting to GH¢49.1 million was deposited, suggesting it was opened solely to facilitate the diversion.

He further noted that only a fraction (US$1.75 million) was actually transferred to ISC Holdings, with Adu-Boahene allegedly going on a “spending spree” with the remaining funds, often withdrawing large amounts in cash with the assistance of Mildred Donkor.
