I have not abandoned Adu-Boahene in NSB trial-Atta Akyea

Samuel Atta Akyea has dismissed reports suggesting that he has abandoned former National Signals Bureau Director-General, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, in the ongoing criminal case against him.

In a statement dated September 10, 2026, the lawyer described the claims circulating on social media as “wretched and vile propaganda”.

“My attention has been drawn to some wretched and vile propaganda circulating on social media that I have abandoned my clients,” he said.

Mr Atta Akyea said he remained fully committed to the defence of Mr Adu-Boahene and the other accused persons.

“I cannot abandon or disown my client,” he stated.

The former Attorney-General said the reports appeared to be connected to the prosecution’s claim that a document relied on by the defence was fake.

He rejected any suggestion that the controversy had caused him to withdraw from the case.

According to him, the disputed document was tendered and admitted into evidence without objection before Justice Francis Apangabuno Achibanga, sitting as an additional High Court judge.

Mr Atta Akyea said the defence team was now preparing what he described as a “very solid and credible submission of no case”.

He maintained that disputes over evidence should be resolved in court, not through public commentary or social media claims.

“Kwabena Adu-Boahene’s case was launched on the platform of media trial, where lies sell. The court is the forum where evidence and law should settle vexed matters,” he said.

Mr Adu-Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei Boateng, and Advantage Solutions Ltd. are standing trial over allegations linked to the former NSB boss’s tenure.

They have denied the charges.

Mr Atta Akyea said the defence would continue to challenge what he described as “sordid” allegations through the proper legal process.
