The third prosecution witness in the trial of former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, has told the court how she was allegedly directed to withdraw and transfer large sums of money using pre-signed cheque books.
Testifying before the court on Wednesday, April 29, Mildred Donkor said she managed a company created by the accused persons for the movement of funds and carried out transactions strictly based on instructions from Adu-Boahene and his wife.
Donkor, who was initially listed as an accused person but was later withdrawn by the Attorney General to testify for the state, said she was made a director of Advantage Solutions, a company linked to BNC Communications Limited.
According to her, Adu-Boahene personally brought company registration documents to her home and asked her to sign as a director. She was also directed to open a bank account for the company.
She explained that after opening the account, she transferred funds from BNC Communications Limited into Advantage Solutions because the BNC account did not have a cheque book available for withdrawals at the time.
Despite being listed as a director, Donkor said she had no knowledge of the company’s operations and was never involved in any decision-making process.
“To satisfy the minimum directorship requirement for Advantage Solutions, he requested that I become the second director, which I consented to,” she told the court.
She further revealed that in 2018, Adu-Boahene and his wife introduced her to another company, B.N.C Communications Bureau Limited, where she was again asked to sign registration documents.
According to her, her role in all the companies was simply to follow instructions.
“I took no major decisions—whether financial, operational or strategic—on my own. I followed the decisions and instructions of the first accused and his wife,” she said.
Donkor also testified that she was routinely handed pre-signed cheque books and directed to make payments and withdraw huge amounts of money for third parties, many of whom were relatives and friends of Adu-Boahene.
“I was only given pre-signed cheque books and instructed from time to time to make cheque payments and withdrawals of huge amounts of money,” she stated.
She disclosed that she was also made a director of seven other companies allegedly linked to Adu-Boahene, including Vertex Solutions Limited, Vertex Properties Limited, Enterprise Dream Collections Ltd, Food Plan Ltd, Kream Auto Collections, Securigence Limited and Urban Kid Limited.
The witness said she was instructed to withdraw large sums from Advantage Solutions accounts and move funds across these companies.
Adu-Boahene, his wife Angela Boateng, and Advantage Solutions Limited are currently standing trial for allegedly misappropriating GH₵49 million meant for the purchase of government cybersecurity software.
Prosecutors claim the funds were routed through several companies and used to acquire properties in Accra, Kumasi and London.
The case has been adjourned to May 5, 2026, for the cross-examination of the third prosecution witness.
