An investigator with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has told the High Court that the wealth and properties linked to former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General, Kwabena Adu-Boahen, do not match the income investigators were able to verify during their probe.
Testifying on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, as the prosecution’s fourth witness, Frank Marsahall Cromwell said EOCO’s investigations showed that Adu-Boahen earned an average monthly salary of about GH¢5,000 in 2017, GH¢6,000 in 2018 and GH¢7,000 in 2019.
According to the investigator, those earnings were compared with several high-value properties allegedly linked to Adu-Boahen and his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng.
He told the court that investigators identified seven properties at Mayfair Garden Estate, a 27-unit apartment complex at Oyarifa Delsize Park and another property at Dolchetser Heights in Asokore Mampong. The assets were later frozen under court orders secured by the prosecution.
Mr. Cromwell said EOCO investigators visited Mayfair Garden Estate on March 21, 2025, together with Adu-Boahen, his wife and their lawyers, where they confirmed the existence of the seven properties allegedly connected to the couple.
The witness further testified that, payment records obtained from the estate and bank transaction documents formed a key part of the investigation.
According to him, investigators traced a GH¢1.5 million transfer from the account of BNC Communications Bureau Limited at UMB Bank to Advantage Solutions before the funds were paid to Mayfair Garden Estate. He said the transaction matched one of the estate’s payment receipts.
Mr. Cromwell added that investigators also uncovered payments made through accounts linked to Advantage Solutions, Vertex Solutions and another company they believe is associated with the accused persons.
Adu-Boahen and his wife are facing trial over allegations of misappropriating GH¢49.1 million in state funds.
The Attorney-General alleges that, money earmarked for a national cyber defence project was diverted through private companies linked to the couple and used to acquire properties and other assets.
The couple have pleaded not guilty to all charges and are contesting the prosecution’s case.
Cross-examination of the EOCO investigator by lawyers for the accused is expected to begin when the trial resumes on Thursday, July 2, 2026.
