The four accused persons in the National Signals Bureau case-Kwabena Adu-Boahen, his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng, Mildred Donkor, and Advantage Solutions Limited-have pleaded not guilty to all charges levelled against them.
Before their pleas were taken, counsel for the accused, Samuel Atta-Akyea, prayed the court to adjourn the case, arguing that his clients had been ambushed by the state.
According to him, his clients honoured an invitation from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) on Tuesday, where they were informed that charges had officially been levelled against them, pending arraignment by the Attorney General.
They were then instructed to reappear at EOCO on Wednesday, only to be told they were being arraigned without having been officially served with the charges.
