Brace yourselves for ‘Ramble in the Jungle’ corruption cases of Akufo-Addo's appointees soon – Attorney General

Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has hinted at a wave of corruption revelations set to unfold in the coming weeks, sending shockwaves across the country.

Addressing a press conference on Monday, March 24, Dr. Ayine urged Ghanaians to prepare for explosive disclosures involving financial misconduct, abuse of power, and illicit transactions within key government institutions. The revelations, he indicated, would implicate former officials accused of mismanaging state resources.

His announcement follows the arrest of Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), who is facing allegations of diverting $7 million earmarked for procuring a cyber defense system into private accounts.

Investigations have revealed that in January 2020, Adu-Boahene signed a contract on behalf of the Ghanaian government with Israeli firm RLC Holdings Limited for the acquisition of a cyber defense system valued at $7 million.

However, instead of executing the deal as intended, he allegedly funneled GH¢27.1 million from the NSB’s Fidelity Bank account into a private BNC account at Universal Merchant Bank (UMB).

Dr. Ayine made it clear that the Adu-Boahene case is just the beginning, stating that ongoing investigations will soon expose even more instances of corruption and financial misconduct.

“We are working diligently on several dossiers that will shock the conscience of the nation. If what suspect Adu-Boahene and his wife have done is like a Thrilla in Manila, please brace yourself for a Ramble in the Jungle in the next few weeks,” he stated.
