Adu Boahene’s driver disputes AG’s account in GH¢49m fraud case

In the ongoing GH¢49 million fraud case involving former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene, a key witness has provided testimony that appears to challenge the prosecution's narrative.
Frank Anane Dekpey, who served as an errand assistant to the accused, stated in his witness testimony that he routinely delivered cash withdrawals directly to the NSB office in Labone, not to Mr. Adu-Boahene’s personal residence.
Dekpey, who described himself as a driver and errand boy, indicated that he was responsible for collecting funds from banks such as UMB and Stanbic.
He emphasised that he was never informed of the exact amounts he was transporting and that his deliveries were always made to the NSB premises.
This account contrasts with the Attorney-General’s assertion that Mr. Adu-Boahene withdrew funds for personal use.
The Attorney-General's office has accused Mr. Adu-Boahene and his associates of diverting GH¢49.1 million intended for a cybersecurity system.
Investigations revealed that only a fraction of the funds reached the intended Israeli supplier, with the remainder allegedly transferred to accounts controlled by the accused.
While Dekpey’s testimony suggests that the cash deliveries were made to the NSB office, it remains unclear how the funds were subsequently utilised.
The errand assistant admitted to having no knowledge of the internal operations or the final destination of the monies he delivered
