The EOCO cells letter by Kwabena Adu-Boahene detailing how funds were utilized for national security activities, including providing allowances to Members of Parliament

May 8, 2025

A note detailing how part of the funds were used for national security activities was delivered to the current National Security Coordinator by Kwabena Adu-Boahene, a former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau who has been charged with theft, and three other individuals, including his wife.

He sent the National Security Coordinator a confidential memo dated May 5, 2025, from the Economic and Organised Crime (EOCO) cells, through his lawyer, warning him that he might be forced to reveal “matters relating to special operations, activities and funding” of national security. He included a table of special operations expenditure summary, which included the payment of allowances to Members of Parliament in the Subsidiary Legislation Committee of Parliament and the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament for the Enactment of the National Signals Bureau (NSB) Act in 2020. The memo, along with a cover letter from his attorney, Samuel Atta Akyea, have since been leaked on social media.

Mildred Donkor, Advantage Solutions Limited, and Angela Adjei Boateng are the other defendants.

The charges were submitted by the Attorney General on Wednesday, April 30, 2025.

Attached below is a copy of the letter from his lawyer Samuel Atta Akyea dated, May 6, 2025.

Dear Sir.

THE ARRAIGNMENT OF KWABENA ADU-BOAHENE IN THE CRIMINAL COURT AND THE NATIONAL SECURITY IMPLICATIONS

Kwabena Adu-Boahene is represented by us as an attorney.

Our client, a former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, has been charged with a number of crimes by the Attorney General, as you are well aware. The charge sheet that has been extensively distributed and the facts as presented by the Honorable Attorney-General, Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine (MP), on April 30, 2025, are attached.

According to our client’s instructions, a quick review of the case from the materials you acquired highlights the fact that the Hon. Attorney-General’s case primarily concerns issues related to national security.

Additionally, the planned prosecution is against the National Signals Bureau Act of 2020 (Act 1040) and the Security and Intelligence Agency Act of 2020 (Act 1030).

Our client, who is now jailed at Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) cells, has a memorandum attached to his hand.

Allow us to rely on your customary expertise in assessing and providing a critical knowledge of the issues covered.
Dedicatedly yours,

Akyea, Samuel Atta

Akyea, Zoe, and Co.

Subject: URGENT – Matters Relating to Special Operations Activities and Funding

We would like to call your kind attention to some events that have occurred after our failed attempt to meet with your excellent office due to schedule issues.

As you may remember, the Attorney-General of the Republic has been very outspoken in several press briefings since my arrest and detention in EOCO cells. He has accused my wife and I of being criminals and made references to transactions between a certain “National BNC” account and “Private BNC” accounts that are allegedly ours.

I am unable to determine the source of the AG’s theories, but as your good office is already aware, the issue concerns transactions between your Special Services Account (also known as the Special Operations Account or “Coordinated Account”) and SPV account *BNC Communications Bureau,” which was duly authorized and established for the national security needs of the time and for which my wife (who has undergone a thorough screening process) and the UMB played a crucial role.

It’s strange that the Attorney General is trying to connect irrelevant Special Operations transfers, withdrawals, and refunds to assets we don’t own and a handful we do, most of which predate the 2020 transactions he brought up. Anyone would be able to see these facts with a quick glance.

I am especially troubled by the fact that bloggers and social media influencers have been used to post and comment on these lies in an effort to spread the word and draw attention to this nefarious plan that targets not just our people but also national security.

Approximately forty-nine (49) million Ghana cedis of Special Operations money are currently the focus of a court case in which my wife and I, along with other associates, are being charged with theft and inflicting financial damage to the state, amid this absurd farce.

As the Attorney-General is purposefully and maliciously portraying it, I assure you that Angela and I would never take public cash. In any event, how can someone take public monies in the way the Attorney General is describing it without the Auditor General noticing?

Furthermore, even if everything were agreed in secret, Angela and I would never steal something that did not belong to us. The small benefits that God has bestowed upon us fill us with joy.

What is evidently clear is that the EOCO boss, Raymond Archer is deliberately misrepresenting or distorting the facts to the authorities, and in the process causing unnecessary sensation that could embarrass the government and national security, and I am craving your urgent intervention to avert it before it becomes too late. My best regards, from BOCO cells.
