Former Signals Bureau Director, Wife, and Associates Charged in GH¢49 Million Cyber Fraud Case

The former Director of the Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, his wife, and two associates have been formally charged with ten criminal offenses, including stealing, causing financial loss to the state, and money laundering.

According to documents filed at the High Court, Adu-Boahene is accused of fraudulently misappropriating approximately GH¢49.1 million under the pretense of securing a cyber defense system for the Republic of Ghana.

The alleged crimes are reported to have occurred between February and March 2020.

His wife, Angela Adjei Boateng, faces charges of conspiracy to steal and using public office for private gain. Prosecutors claim she collaborated with her husband in orchestrating the scheme.

Two additional defendants—Mildred Donkor and a company named Advantage Solutions Limited—are also implicated. Both face charges related to money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

The Attorney-General’s Department contends that Adu-Boahene exploited his public office for personal enrichment, channeling state funds through Advantage Solutions Limited. The funds were allegedly redirected into various personal investments.

Court proceedings are expected to begin in the coming weeks as the state seeks to recover the misappropriated funds and bring the accused to justice.
