Read What Attorney General said About Banks Aiding Adu-Boahene Corruption Scandal
Ghana’s Attorney-General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has issued a stern warning to financial institutions dealing with Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau. Ayine prohibited the movement of any assets or funds belonging to Adu-Boahene and his wife, citing suspicious transactions and potential money laundering.
“The Financial Intelligence Centre is closely monitoring the accounts owned by Adu-Boahene and his wife,” Ayine stated during a press conference in Accra on Monday, March 24, 2025.
“Investigations have revealed suspicious transactions involving Adu-Boahene and his companies, including Advantage Solutions Limited and BNC Communications Bureau Limited.”
Dr Ayine emphasized that any bank manager or employee found to be complicit in moving Adu-Boahene’s assets or money will be held liable and arrested.
“All banks are warned that if we detect any wire transfers or cash withdrawals on any of the accounts belonging to Mr. Adu-Boahene and his companies, the Bank Managers and all their employees involved in those transfers will equally be arrested,” he warned.
Furthermore, Ayine revealed that Adu-Boahene may have acquired another citizenship using his amassed wealth, highlighting that investigations have uncovered two service passports and potential intelligence suggesting he holds a foreign passport.
“The massive wealth he has accumulated, it is possible he has purchased another citizenship,” Ayine noted.
Adu-Boahene was taken into custody on Thursday, March 20, 2025, upon his arrival in Ghana from London Heathrow.
The arrest has been condemned by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, who described it as an egregious act of political persecution.
