Claims from Accra-based Asaase Radio that the 44-year-old embattled former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene, was involved in extensive business dealings with COCOBOD during Dr 's tenure as Chief Executive, have been proven to be an outright lie.

Documents available to The Herald reveal that Asaase Radio attempted to link the former COCOBOD boss to Adu-Boahene's financial dealings to shift focus from the latter's controversial transactions at NSB and whitewash his reputation.

According to official records, the first time Adu-Boahene's fertiliser company, Glofert Limited, secured a contract with COCOBOD was in 2024 - long after Dr Opuni had left office and was undergoing a criminal trial under the Akufo-Addo government.

The contract for the supply of Adikanfo Cocoa Fertiliser was awarded in October 2024, following approval from the Public Procurement Authority (PPA).
