Samuel Atta Akyea, lawyer of embattled former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu Boahene, has accused the Attorney General of pushing to get his client convicted.
Speaking after court proceedings on July 18, 2025, Atta Akyea, who is also the lawyer for two of the other three accused persons in the case, claimed that the Office of the Attorney General was dictating to the court.
He said that the Attorney General appears to be in a hurry to jail his client, but the laws of the country must be followed to the letter. "I'm having a sense that justice might suffer if the Attorney General is in this ambulance mood… I believe that as if we are in an ambulance mood to get these people jailed… Even where we should wait for a motion to be heard, the Attorney General is in no mood to even respect the rules, and on a mere say-so the judge will just respect what he's saying and obey it. "I've seen several things in the court which is telling me that the Attorney General is having his own way in that court and whatever he says, then the judge wants to do it for him.
Since we started these matters, that's my strong view of the matter.
