Vincent Ekow Assafuah, the Member of Parliament for Old Tafo in the Ashanti Region, has urged fellow New Patriotic Party (NPP) members not to defend Kwabena Adu Boahene, the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), if allegations of misappropriating GH₵49 million in state funds are proven true.
Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, Assafuah stressed the need for accountability, cautioning his party members against shielding Adu Boahene from potential legal consequences.
"If this is true, I am warning party persons, NPP persons— in the event that this is proven, please don’t go and defend it because we are building a nation," he stated.
The allegations were first raised by Minister for Justice and Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, on Monday, March 24.
The Attorney-General (A-G) Dr. Dominic Ayine has revealed significant landed properties and assets allegedly acquired through questionable financial activities by Mr. Kwabena Adu-Boahene, former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), and his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng.
Investigations have uncovered multiple high-value properties in prime locations across Ghana and beyond, with deposits suggesting substantial financial misconduct. Identified Properties:
No. 2 Stream Part Drive, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra – A deposit of $1,000,000 (valued at GHS15,000,000) was made, with verified deposit slips and receipts.
No. 6 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra – A deposit of $500,000 was recorded.
No. 7 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA – $200,000 was deposited.
No. 8 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA – An initial deposit of $97,815 was made, with suspicions of additional cash payments completing the transaction.
No. 9 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra – A deposit of $270,000 was documented.
No. 10 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra – $150,000 was deposited.
Further investigations link Mr. Adu-Boahene to Vertex Properties, a real estate firm that owns 27 houses in Oyarifa, each valued at $295,000, raising additional concerns about the origins of these funds.
Beyond Ghana, authorities have identified two properties in London allegedly connected to the couple, though details on these assets remain undisclosed.
Addressing journalists in Accra on Monday, Dr. Ayine stressed that the magnitude of these acquisitions strongly indicates financial misconduct during Mr. Adu-Boahene’s tenure at the NSB.
“The proceeds from the suspects’ activities were used to acquire significant properties and assets of considerable value both in Ghana and abroad,” Dr. Ayine stated.
Authorities are intensifying investigations into the financial flows and ownership structures associated with Mr. Adu-Boahene and his wife, with efforts underway to recover misappropriated funds and ensure accountability for any financial irregularities.
