Lawyers representing Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), have issued a formal response to allegations made by the Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, regarding embezzlement and money laundering.
The Attorney General had earlier accused Adu-Boahene of misappropriating $7 million meant for a cyber defence system contract and laundering the funds through real estate investments in Ghana and abroad.
He is alleged to have used a private company he secretly established to divert state funds. The accusations have since led to his arrest at Kotoka International Airport upon his return to Ghana.
In their response, Mr Adu-Boahene’s lawyers dispute the claims made by the Attorney General, arguing that their client’s fundamental human rights have been violated.
