A prosecution witness in the ongoing trial of the former Director of the National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, appears to have corroborated portions of a May 7, 2025, memo from the lawyers of the embattled NSB boss to the National Security Coordinator detailing operational expenditure of monies he and two others are being accused of allegedly misappropriating.
The prosecution witness, Edith Ruby Opokua Adumuah, who also doubles as the Director of Finance at the National Signals Bureau, in a witness statement dated June 2, 2025, said that she was indeed the custodian of all the cheque books of the bank accounts held by the bureau.
She further revealed that before any cheque payment was made on the main account, a request was made by the recipient unit through the head of administration, who then forwarded the request to the Director of BNC for approval after the necessary documents had been attached before certification by the internal audit unit for authorisation of payment.
Opokua Adumuah also said that the operational account of the BNC by standard procedure is managed by the Director of BNC (Kwabena Adu-Boahene) with the able supervision of the National Security Coordinator.
