The High Court in Accra has once again dismissed a request for disclosure by the lawyer of the embattled former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu Boahene, in the ongoing GH¢49 million NSB trial.
According to a report by citinewsroom.com, the lawyer of Adu Boahene (the 1st accused in the case) and his wife, Angela Adjei Boateng (the 2nd accused), Samuel Atta Akyea, filed a motion seeking disclosure of several documents, including the bill of lading for a BMW vehicle, documents evidencing the port of entry, and the police docket related to the vehicle.
Atta Akyea argued that the documents requested would help determine a claim by the prosecution that Adu Boahene had actually imported a stolen vehicle.
The Deputy Attorney General (AG), Dr Justice Srem-Sai, who was representing the state, opposed the motion, stating that the accused person should have the documents in relation to the vehicle because his name appeared as both importer and exporter in the customs declaration. "The bill of lading is irrelevant and not in our possession.
