Lawyer for former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene, Samuel Atta Akyea, has dismissed reports that he has abandoned his client in the ongoing criminal case.
In a statement dated September 10, 2026, Mr Atta Akyea described social media reports suggesting that he had withdrawn from the case as “wretched and vile propaganda.”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.
Lawyer rejects claims over disputed evidence
Mr Atta Akyea said the reports were linked to allegations by the prosecution that a document relied upon by the defence was fake.
He, however, maintained that the disputed document was admitted into evidence without objection before Justice Francis Apangabuno Achibanga, sitting as an additional High Court judge.
“I cannot abandon or disown my client,” Mr Atta Akyea said.
He added that his legal team was preparing what he described as a “very solid and credible submission of no case.”
The lawyer stressed that the defence remained committed to challenging the prosecution’s allegations through the appropriate legal process.
‘The court is the forum’
Mr Atta Akyea criticised the use of social media to debate matters currently before the court, arguing that questions of evidence and law should be determined through judicial proceedings.
“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, Angela Adjei Boateng and Advantage Solutions Ltd. are facing prosecution in the case, with the defence continuing to challenge the allegations against them.
Mr Atta Akyea expressed confidence in the defence’s planned submission of no case, describing the allegations against his client as “sordid.”
