The Attorney-General’s Office has informed the High Court that it is unable to produce some categories of evidence the Court of Appeal ordered it to disclose in the trial of former National Signals Bureau Director, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng, and Advantage Solutions Limited (ASL).
The accused persons are facing trial for allegedly diverting GH¢49.1 million meant for the acquisition of a state cyber defence system.
In a response dated July 1, 2026, and filed at the High Court, a Principal State Attorney from the Attorney-General’s Office, Esi Dentaa Yankah, said the prosecution had not obtained some of the documents ordered for disclosure by the Court of Appeal.
One of the documents the prosecution said it could not produce is 88 missing pages of Advantage Solutions Limited’s bank statement with Universal Merchant Bank (UMB), which was among six categories of evidence the Court of Appeal directed the state to disclose on May 28, 2026.
The Court of Appeal had partly upheld an appeal by Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his wife against the Attorney-General regarding the disclosure of evidence in the ongoing trial.
Apart from the missing bank statement pages, the court ordered the disclosure of the source of the GH¢49.1 million, portions of the National Security Coordinator’s file relating to the matter, special operations accounts linked to Adu-Boahene, and correspondence between the National Security Coordinator and Angela Adjei-Boateng concerning special purpose accounts opened at UMB.
Responding to the court’s directives, the Attorney-General said the defence team already had the complete UMB bank statement, having tendered it through the second prosecution witness, where it was admitted as Exhibit 15 and Exhibit 15A.
However, the A-G’s Office said it had not obtained and could not disclose the source of the GH¢49.1 million transferred into B.N.C. Communications Bureau Limited’s UMB account.
It also stated that it could not provide a file compiled by then National Security Coordinator Joshua Kyeremeh on the cyber defence system acquisition, correspondence from Kyeremeh or previous coordinators regarding the matter, details of ASL’s vetting process, or documents relating to the opening of special purpose accounts.
The Attorney-General further said it could not disclose the special operations accounts or confirm whether the GH¢49.1 million, which the prosecution converted to approximately US$7 million, was intended solely for the cyber defence system.
The case is expected to continue as the court considers the prosecution’s response to the disclosure orders.
