Former National Signals Bureau boss, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, remains in custody despite completing the court’s seven working day remand directive.
The former security chief, on trial for charges including stealing, money laundering, and causing financial loss to the state, was initially remanded on Friday, May 2, over allegations of witness tampering.
However, his lawyer, Samuel Atta Akyea, informed the court on Tuesday, May 13, that his client had been rearrested on a separate matter after the initial remand period had lapsed.
Although he did not provide details about the new arrest, the Attorney General had earlier indicated that Adu-Boahene was under investigation in connection with an internet connectivity case at Ghana Water Limited.
Regarding the current case involving the alleged diversion of GH¢49.1 million, the judge has adjourned proceedings to May 26 for a case management conference.
The state has filed all its witness statements and is expected to disclose them to the defense by no later than May 20.
