Lawyers for former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene have asked the High Court to strike out portions of the prosecution’s written arguments, alleging that they contain fabricated statements and misrepresent evidence presented during his trial.
The application, filed on October 19, 2026, by defence counsel Samuel Atta Akyea, challenges submissions filed by the Deputy Attorney-General on October 9 in opposition to the accused persons’ plea of no case to answer.
The defence argues that some passages attribute statements to prosecution witnesses that were never made and refer to facts that were not established during proceedings.
According to the application, the prosecution’s written arguments cannot be used to introduce new evidence or attribute testimony to witnesses beyond what appears in the official court record.
One of the key disputes concerns Exhibits X and 11, which the prosecution allegedly described as forged or fabricated documents. Adu-Boahene’s lawyers maintain that prosecution witnesses PW2 and PW4 did not testify that the exhibits were forged.
The defence also questioned the chronology of the evidence, noting that PW2 was discharged on April 27, 2026, while Exhibit X was admitted through PW4 on June 22, 2026.
The lawyers are asking the court to expunge the disputed passages or, alternatively, direct that they be disregarded when determining whether the accused persons have a case to answer.
Adu-Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei Boateng and their company, Advantage Solutions, are facing 11 financial charges linked to the alleged diversion of GH¢49.1 million intended for the procurement of cybersecurity software for the state. The accused persons have challenged the sufficiency of the prosecution’s evidence.
The court is expected to rule on the no-case submissions on November 5, 2026. The latest application raises a separate question about whether the disputed passages should be considered in that decision.
