Lawyer Samuel Atta Akyea slammed the case against former National Signals Bureau head Kwabena Adu Boahene as weak and unproven. An Accra High Court sent Adu Boahene to EOCO custody for seven days after the Attorney General requested it on Friday. The detention stems from claims he tried to stop a witness from testifying in a theft case. Atta Akyea told Channel One Newsroom the legal grounds for prosecution lack substance and merit. He expressed concern about how officials treated his client, given his security background.
The lawyer suggested Dr. Dominic Ayine was putting on a show for the public instead of building a solid legal case. He stated firmly that the situation looks worse than it actually is and predicted the accusations would fall apart when properly examined in court. The attorney described the charges as thin and poorly constructed during his media appearance. EOCO will keep investigating during the seven-day detention period. Court proceedings will resume next week after investigators finish their work.
