Prosecution Witness Alleges GH¢49.1m NSB Funds Were Diverted Through Specially Created Account
The fourth prosecution witness in the trial of former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene, has told the Accra High Court that investigators believe a bank account used to receive GH¢49.1 million intended for a cyber defence system was created specifically to divert the funds.
Frank Marshall Cromwell, a staff officer at the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) and a prosecution witness in the case, made the claim while giving testimony in the ongoing criminal proceedings against the former NSB boss.
According to the witness, Mr Adu-Boahene signed a contract with Israeli firm ISC Holdings Ltd on January 30, 2020, for the procurement of a cyber defence system valued at GH¢49.1 million.
The testimony forms part of the prosecution’s efforts to establish the circumstances surrounding the handling and disbursement of funds allocated for the acquisition of the cyber security infrastructure.
