Renowned legal scholar Prof Kwadwo Appiagyei-Atua has reacted to the threat by , the lawyer for embattled former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene, that his client could reveal national security secrets if his ongoing criminal prosecution continues.
Speaking in an interview on JoyNews on 5 May 2025, Prof Appiagyei-Atua, an Associate Professor at the University of Ghana School of Law, indicated that Atta Akyea should know that divulging national security secrets is a crime.
He asserted that while Adu-Boahene's testimony has national security implications, there is a process to follow, which Atta Akyea knows about. "I'm not sure the law allows anybody to say anything at all when it regards national security issues.
There are particular laws that should apply when it becomes necessary.
