EOCO probe: Adu-Boahene receiving fair treatment in custody – Srem-Sai

​Deputy Attorney-General Dr. Justice Srem-Sai has underscored the importance of upholding due process, emphasizing that individuals should not be presumed guilty before a final court determination. ​

These remarks follow the arrest of former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General, Kwabena Adu Boahene, by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

Mr. Boahene was detained at Kotoka International Airport upon his arrival from London on a British Airways flight. ​

Dr. Srem-Sai visited Mr. Boahene and his wife, Madam Angela Adjei-Boateng, who are currently in custody assisting with investigations.

He noted that both individuals have access to legal representation and are being treated appropriately. ​

Dr. Srem-Sai’s comments highlight the principle that individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty, reinforcing the need for adherence to due process in legal proceedings.

In a Facebook post on Friday, March 21, Srem-Sai said, “I visited Mr Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his wife, Madam Angela Adjei-Boateng, who are in the custody of law enforcement officials and are assisting in investigations.

“They confirmed to me that they have access to counsel of their choice and are being treated well. No one, regardless of the nature of the suspicion or accusations, should be treated as guilty until they're actually proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction.
