Adu-Boahene Trial: GH¢49.1m came from public account – Prosecution witness

"I am aware that the account known as the Director BNC account was created on the instructions of the National Security Coordinator for operational purposes of the Bureau of National Communications," Mr Marshall told the court.

The witness further told the court that investigations showed that the account was opened on the authorisation of the National Security Coordinator to be used for operational purposes, making it a state account.

Mr Marshall insisted that, contrary to the suggestion of the defence that the said account was not a public account, EOCO had obtained a statement from the Head of Finance of the National Signals Bureau, Edith Ruby Adumuah, who listed the account in question as one of the accounts operated by the country's National Signals Bureau.
