The former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu Boahene, has reportedly been arrested by officials from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) according to the Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
The alleged arrest took place on Thursday, March 20, 2025, shortly after Adu Boahene arrived in Ghana from London Heathrow at approximately 8:30 PM on a British Airways flight.
The disclosure was made by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, March 21, 2025.
Afenyo-Markin strongly condemned the arrest, describing it as an act of political persecution under the current administration, stating that such actions set a dangerous precedent and undermine the democratic principles of justice and fairness.
According to him, Mr Kwabena Adu Boahene, former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, arrived in Ghana from London Heathrow on Thursday, March 20, 2025, at approximately 8:30 PM on a British Airways flight. Upon arrival at the CIP, he went through immigration formalities.
While patiently waiting in the lounge for his baggage, an immigration officer informed him that there was an issue with his name that needed to be rectified at the main office in Terminal 3 Departures. He was also told that he needed to have a discussion with the Immigration Boss.
Mr Adu Boahene willingly followed the officer to the Immigration office at Terminal 3 Departures. After about 10 minutes, he was informed that he was on EOCO’s stop list and was wanted accordingly.
Deputy Director of EOCO, Raymond Archer, who was personally present, along with his team, then handcuffed Mr Adu Boahene at the departures area and escorted him through the Airport Departure Hall with approximately six officers. He was pushed into a white Nissan Navara pickup with registration number GN 8850-22, accompanied by fully armed men.
Another Navara pickup and a white Toyota Corolla also escorted him. At about 9:47 PM, he was whisked away to an unknown location.
