Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the former Director of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), has been rearrested on a new charge shortly after being granted bail in the ongoing GHS49 million cybersecurity procurement case.
His legal counsel, Samuel Atta Akyea, disclosed the development to journalists following a court hearing at the Accra High Court on Tuesday, May 13, 2025.
According to the lawyer, the fresh charge is linked to another state project involving the Ghana Water Company.
“I’ve been hinted that it relates to secured Internet services for the benefit of another state institution, the Ghana Water Company—national security provided them with gadgets and well-meaning things, so that if you’re even in your room, you’ll be able to see the pipes, whether they are being tampered with,” Atta Akyea explained.
He expressed concern over what he described as a potentially targeted approach against his client. “Let’s be fair. Let the man defend himself. It should not look like a personal vendetta,” he said.
The latest development comes just a day after the High Court, presided over by Justice John Eugene Nyadu Nyante, ordered the Attorney General’s office to file all witness statements by May 20.
The judge emphasized the need to safeguard the personal liberties of the accused and encouraged the prosecution to expedite the trial process.
