GH¢49.1M Fraud Case: Three Witnesses Testify Against Former NSB Boss Adu-Boahene

Three Witnesses Deliver Strong Testimonies in High-Profile Fraud Case Against Adu-Boahene

The trial of former National Service Scheme (NSB) boss, Adu-Boahene, took a dramatic turn this week as three witnesses gave damning accounts implicating him in the ongoing GH¢49.1 million financial scandal.

Adu-Boahene is facing multiple charges in connection with a massive fraud scheme that allegedly siphoned funds intended for the National Service Secretariat through ghost names, inflated payments, and illegal transactions.

???? The Testimonies So Far

The three prosecution witnesses, who include a former finance officer, a former payroll supervisor, and an external auditor, described in detail how the accused allegedly:

• Authorized suspicious fund disbursements

• Manipulated payroll systems to accommodate non-existent service personnel

• Failed to account for large sums over a prolonged period

One witness revealed that several payments were made to shell accounts over six months, with records showing falsified signatures and missing supporting documentation.

“We noticed that funds were repeatedly moved without the required audit trail. Some of the approvals had clear signs of forgery,” the auditor testified.

⚖️ Legal Teams Respond

The prosecution has stated it will present six more witnesses as the trial continues, aiming to build a strong case of deliberate mismanagement and financial impropriety.

Meanwhile, Adu-Boahene’s legal team insists their client is not guilty, suggesting that the irregularities were the result of systemic issues and not a personal conspiracy.

???? Public Interest Grows

The case has gripped public attention, particularly due to the scale of the alleged fraud and the high-level position of the accused. With public funds involved, many Ghanaians are calling for transparency and firm consequences if guilt is established.

“This case is another reminder of why public office holders must be held accountable. The testimony of three separate insiders pointing in the same direction is no small matter. Ghanaians deserve answers—and justice must be served without political interference.”
