General News of Tuesday, 8 September 2026 Source: Webbers Choice 2026-09-08 « Prev Next » Comments (0) Listen to Article Frank Cromwell is the lead investigator from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO). He testified in court regarding Kwadwo Adu-Boahene, former Director-General of the National Investigative Bureau (NIB). Cromwell stated that a letter claiming to confirm the purchase of a Cyber Defence System is fake. This statement was made during proceedings on September 8, 2026. Cromwell's forensic investigations indicated that the letter was not genuine. Earlier reports noted that the court had accepted this letter as evidence. He also mentioned that over GH¢49 million intended for the Cyber Defence System was allegedly transferred to Adu-Boahene's private account. "My investigation focuses on ₵49.1 million dissipated through Adu-Boahene's private account as of August 2020," he said. He added that any questions about expenditures after August 2020 are irrelevant to this case. These comments were made during re-examination by Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem-Sai. Adu-Boahene, Adjei-Boateng, and their company face 11 charges related to transferring approximately GH¢49 million, or about US$7 million, from NIB accounts to private accounts. On March 24, 2025, Attorney General Dominic Ayine addressed the media regarding these allegations. Ayine stated that Adu-Boahene was implicated in unauthorized transfers of US$7 million allocated for cybersecurity infrastructure. He explained that on January 30, 2020, Adu-Boahene signed a contract with an Israeli company named RLC Holdings Limited for cyber defence software costing $7 million. Days after signing the agreement, Adu-Boahene initiated a transaction involving these funds. On February 6, 2020, he transferred GH¢27,100,000 from the National Signals Bureau account at Fidelity Bank to a private BNC account at UMB. Documentation showed this transfer was for payment of cyber defence software and went to his private company. Ayine further alleged that portions of these funds were later moved into Adu-Boahene's personal account and accounts belonging to his wife.
