Vincent Ekow Assafuah, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Old Tafo, has advised the New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs not to defend the former Director General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB) Kwabena Adu-Boahene, on his legal battle with the state over alleged embezzlement of public funds.

The former NSB director has been accused of misappropriating GH₵39 million in state funds by the Attorney General, Dr. Dominic Ayine.

Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, Assafuah urged NPP members against shielding Adu-Boahene if the allegations are proven to be true.

“I am warning party persons, in the event that this is proven, please don’t go and defend it because we are building a nation,” he stated.

The Minister for Justice and Attorney General, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, made the allegations on Monday, March 24, 2025.

According to Dr Ayine, Adu Boahene, who served as the Director General of the National Signals Bureau between 2017 and 2025, embezzled millions of dollars meant for a cyber defence project and diverted them into real estate investments in Accra and overseas.

He has also allegedly laundered over $2 million through the real estate business.

The allegations have sparked public concern, with many calling for a thorough investigation into the matter.
