Mildred Donkor, the third accused in the ongoing GH¢49m National Security trial involving former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu Boahene, has reportedly fired the former Member of Parliament for Akim Abuakwa South, Samuel Atta Akyea, from representing her in the case.
According to a report by GHOne, Donkor, who, together with Adu Boahene and two other accused, has been slapped with 11 charges over the alleged transfer of GH¢49 million (approximately $7 million) from the bureau's account to the former NSB chief's personal account, said Atta Akyea, who was the lawyer for all the accused persons, should no longer represent her.
She reportedly told court during proceedings on Friday, July 18, 2025, that she wished for a "separate lawyer." "I wish to take a separate lawyer!", the third accused is quoted to have said.
The Office of the Attorney General filed 11 corruption-related charges against Adu Boahene and three other accused persons, the wife of Adu Boahene, Angela Adjei-Boateng; his company, Advantage Solutions Limited; and a banker, Mildred Donkor.
