The Attorney-General’s Department has dismissed a legal application filed by the legal team of Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, labeling the filing as "frivolous." This development occurs within the context of an ongoing criminal trial where Adu-Boahene and others are facing charges. The defense application prominently accused the prosecution of fabricating and inventing evidence, as well as misrepresenting witness testimony presented to the court during the proceedings.
Deputy Attorney-General Justice Srem-Sai formally reacted to these allegations by announcing that the state would not provide a formal response to the application. The prosecution’s stance is that the claims lack substantive merit and do not warrant a detailed legal rebuttal. The application was aimed at dismissing parts of the prosecution's submissions that were intended to counter the defense's earlier arguments that the accused persons have no case to answer.
The trial's current phase focuses on whether the state has successfully established a prima facie case against the former National Signals Bureau head and his co-accused. By choosing not to respond to the allegations of evidence fabrication, the Attorney-General's office is signaling that it remains focused on the primary evidence already on record. The court's eventual ruling on these submissions will determine if the trial proceeds to the defense stage or if the charges against Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his co-defendants will be dismissed.
