Adu-Boahene trial: A-G withdraws charges against third accused

-

The Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has dropped all charges against one of the accused persons in the ongoing criminal trial involving former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene.

The decision follows an agreement with Mildred Donkor, the third accused, to serve as a witness for the prosecution.

In a notice filed at the High Court in Accra on October 15, 2025, the Deputy Attorney General, Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, confirmed that Ms. Donkor had been discharged under Section 59 of the Criminal and Other Offences (Procedure) Act, 1960 (Act 30).

The notice formally withdrew her from prosecution in relation to all charges brought against her.

Ms. Donkor will now appear as a prosecution witness in the case against Mr. Adu-Boahene (1st Accused), Angela Adjei Boateng (2nd Accused), and Advantage Solutions Limited (4th Accused).

In her witness statement, she described her professional relationship with both Mr. Adu-Boahene and Madam Adjei Boateng, noting that they first met through the Cedar Mountain Assemblies of God Church in East Legon, Accra.

She explained that she was listed as a director of Advantage Solutions Limited at Mr. Adu-Boahene’s request to meet registration requirements but had no actual decision-making power within the company.

“I took no major decisions – whether financial, operational, or strategic – on my own. I followed the instructions of A1 and A2,” she stated.

According to Ms. Donkor, she managed several transactions on behalf of the accused persons, including withdrawing and delivering large cash amounts from accounts belonging to Advantage Solutions Limited and BNC Communications Bureau Limited.

She said the two provided her with pre-signed cheque books, authorising her to fill in specified amounts—ranging from GH¢2,000 to GH¢1 million—and withdraw funds as directed. An indemnity letter had also been issued to the bank to enable her third-party withdrawals.

Ms. Donkor noted that she routinely delivered the withdrawn cash either to Mr. Adu-Boahene, Madam Adjei Boateng, or to Madam Margaret Aba Donkor, identified as Mr. Adu-Boahene’s mother.

She also cited a transaction on April 29, 2020, in which GH¢2.5 million was transferred from the account of BNC Communications Bureau Limited to I-ZAR Limited, a company owned by Rashida Saani, under the instruction of Mr. Adu-Boahene.

She concluded that she was never a formal employee of Advantage Solutions Limited, had no written contract, and acted only on informal directions from the two main accused persons.
