Court revises bail conditions for former NSB Director-General and wife

The High Court in Accra has revised the police inquiry bail conditions for former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, and his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng, who are under investigation for allegedly causing financial loss to the state.

Updated Bail Conditions

Kwabena Adu-Boahene’s Bail:

  • Reduced from GH¢120 million to GH¢80 million
  • Now requires two sureties, one with justification

Angela Adjei-Boateng’s Bail:

  • Remains at GH¢80 million
  • Two sureties required, but no justification needed

Additional Conditions for Both:

  • Must report to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) twice a week for three weeks
  • Prohibited from traveling without EOCO’s permission

Court’s Decision and Legal Arguments

The bail revision follows a motion filed by their lawyer, Samuel Atta Akyea, seeking adjustments to the initial stringent conditions.

Presiding Judge Justice Ruby Aryeetey granted some relief by reducing Mr. Adu-Boahene’s bail and easing the conditions for his wife.

The case remains under investigation, with both individuals expected to comply with EOCO’s directives while legal proceedings continue.
