Governance analyst and lecturer at the University of Ghana Business School, Dr Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah, has urged the state to continue the prosecution of former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene, despite the threats by his lawyer that doing so might lead to the leaking of national security secrets.
Speaking in an interview with GhanaWeb on May 22, 2025, Dr Otchere-Ankrah asserted that the threat of leakage of national security secrets by Adu-Boahene's lawyer, , does not make sense.
The governance expert pointed out that the threat to leak national security secrets should not be an excuse not to hold public officers who misuse the resources of the state accountable.
He went on to call the bluff of the lawyer, saying that they should leak all the secrets they have, but Adu-Boahene must be prosecuted and all of his assets, together with those of his accomplices, confiscated. "He should be prosecuted irrespective of the information he leaked.
