The Attorney-General Dr Dominic Ayine has told the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu Boahene, that he can take advantage of the plea-bargaining regime and return all the state property he allegedly looted.
Dr Ayine says he is open-minded about the plea-bargaining regime.
“I am open-minded when it comes to these issues, so if they want to do plea bargaining they should make an offer through their lawyers immediately after I file the charges. and I will be willing to look at it because that is the essence of the plea-bargaining regime,” Dr Ayine said at a press conference in Accra on Monday, March 24.
The former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu Boahene, was arrested by officials from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
He was arrested on Thursday, March 20, 2025, shortly after Adu Boahene arrived in Ghana from London Heathrow at approximately 8:30 PM on a British Airways flight.
The disclosure was made by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, March 21, 2025.
Afenyo-Markin strongly condemned the arrest, describing it as an act of political persecution under the current administration, stating that such actions set a dangerous precedent and undermine the democratic principles of justice and fairness.
According to him, Mr Kwabena Adu Boahene, former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, arrived in Ghana from London Heathrow on Thursday, March 20, 2025, at approximately 8:30 PM on a British Airways flight. Upon arrival at the VIP, he went through immigration formalities.
While patiently waiting in the lounge for his baggage, an immigration officer informed him that there was an issue with his name that needed to be rectified at the main office in Terminal 3 Departures. He was also told that he needed to have a discussion with the immigration boss.
