The Attorney-General’s Office is preparing to file a series of criminal charges today against a number of former public officials, with sources indicating that a former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu Boahene, and his wife are among those to be arraigned.

The charges, to be brought under the authority of Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Dr. Dominic Ayine and his deputy, Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, will relate to alleged serious offences committed against the state.

The development follows what insiders say is a growing crackdown on corruption and abuse of office.

According to reliable sources, Adu Boahene may also face charges in connection with a previously undisclosed GHS60 million fraud allegedly perpetrated against another state agency.

The Minister is scheduled to announce the charges at a press conference to be held at the Information Services Department conference room today at 12 pm.

This would be in addition to matters publicly disclosed during a recent press conference by the Attorney-General, based on findings from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

In a surprising turn, Adu Boahene has responded to those public disclosures with a civil defamation suit against Dr. Ayine, alleging that the statements made at the press briefing were prejudicial and damaging to his reputation.

This upcoming legal action by the Attorney-General’s Office comes in the wake of 15 criminal charges filed just yesterday by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) against a former Presidential Staffer and Secretary to the now-defunct Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCM).

The charges were announced by Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng, intensifying public scrutiny on high-ranking officials implicated in corruption-related offences.

While the full list of accused persons expected to be charged this week remains undisclosed, government sources indicate that the move forms part of a broader effort to hold public officeholders accountable and strengthen confidence in state institutions.

The Attorney-General’s Office has not yet released an official statement on the specific charges or timeline, but legal and political analysts anticipate a high-profile legal showdown in the coming days.
