Samuel Atta Akyea, the lawyer of embattled former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene, has expressed his disappointment with the Supreme Court’s dismissal of an application to get the judge overseeing the ongoing trial of his client removed. Speaking to the media after the Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, Atta Akyea noted that even though he was disappointed with the decision, he remains resolute. “I’m disappointed but not discouraged. We will see how the case will travel,” he told the media. He indicated that he would continue with the case and ensure that the right procedures are followed. “It doesn’t move me at all. The only persuasion a judge should have is the law. I’m not going to have a banter with him; I’m not going to fight with him or anything. I’m just going to project the law,” he said. The former Member of Parliament for Akim Abuakwa South hinted that he would apply for a review of the Supreme Court’s ruling, adding, “This is a 5-0, so that is a tall order. We will soldier on.” GH¢49m NSB Case: Supreme Court dismisses Adu-Boahene’s request for trial judge’s removal Adu-Boahene, through his lawyer, filed an application asking the apex court of the land to prohibit the High Court judge from hearing the case, accusing him of bias. But the Supreme Court, in a 5-0 unanimous decision, dismissed the application, according to multiple reports. Kwabena Adu-Boahene, his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng, and their company have been slapped with 11 charges for allegedly transferring GH¢49 million (approximately $7 million) from the bureau’s account to their personal account. Addressing the press on Monday, March 24, 2025, Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, stated that Adu-Boahene was implicated in the unauthorised transfer of $7 million, originally allocated for cybersecurity infrastructure, into his private accounts. “In his capacity as Director of the National Signals Bureau, Mr Adu-Boahene, on January 30, 2020, signed a contract on behalf of the Government of Ghana and the National Security on the one hand, and on the other hand, an Israeli company named RLC Holdings Limited. The contract was for the purchase of a cyber defence system software at a price of $7 million,” the Attorney General said.
