…Pleads with National Security To Save him and wife from the claws of Justice
By Gifty Arthur
Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), has made a poignant appeal to the National Security agency while being detained at the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) in Accra.
Sources reveal that following a court order extending his detention for a week as he awaits trial on charges brought by the Attorney General, Adu-Boahene took matters into his own hands and penned a letter directly to the National Security Coordinator, DCOP Abdul-Osman Razak.
In an unexpected turn of events, the letter seems to insinuate an attempt at leveraging classified information to sway the ongoing legal proceedings in his favor. Adu-Boahene, in his missive, raised concerns about potential disclosures of sensitive state secrets during the trial, urging intervention to protect certain confidential details.
This move comes amidst mounting accusations of financial impropriety and other criminal activities leveled against Adu-Boahene and his associates, including his wife, as they face prosecution over alleged misappropriation of state funds.
The embattled former official vehemently denies the allegations, asserting that the transactions in question were legitimate and conducted within the purview of National Security mandates. He further expressed dismay over what he perceives as a deliberate campaign to besmirch his reputation and that of his spouse, insinuating the involvement of third parties in circulating falsehoods to tarnish their names.
In his plea to the National Security Coordinator, Adu-Boahene emphasized his commitment to upholding the integrity of his former position and categorically denied any wrongdoing, vowing to cooperate fully with authorities to clear his name.
Moreover, he raised concerns about the conduct of the Executive Secretary of EOCO, Raymond Archer, accusing him of distorting facts and potentially jeopardizing the government’s image and national security interests. Adu-Boahene called for urgent intervention to rectify the perceived misrepresentations before irreversible damage occurs.
As the legal battle intensifies, with charges of financial malfeasance and corruption hanging over his head, Adu-Boahene’s plea underscores the high stakes involved and the complexity of the tangled web of allegations surrounding his tenure at the National Signals Bureau.
Meanwhile, the case continues to unfold, with the High Court adjourning proceedings to May 13 for further directions, as the accused remains confined in EOCO custody pending the resolution of the legal saga that has gripped the nation’s attention.
