Mr. Kwabena Adu Boahene, the former Director General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), was arrested last night upon arrival at Kotoka International Airport.
The arrest took place at approximately 9:47 PM, shortly after he landed on a British Airways flight from London Heathrow.
His detention was carried out by Raymond Archer, the Deputy Director of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), as part of what is believed to be a larger investigation into undisclosed matters.
Who is Kwabena Adu Boahene?
Adu Boahene is a well-respected figure in Ghana’s security and intelligence community, having served as the Director General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB)—an agency under the National Security Council of Ghana. His previous roles include:
✅ Deputy Director of the NSB
✅ Head of Core Network, Planning & IT
✅ Head of Network Operations
As the head of the NSB, he was responsible for overseeing secure communications and intelligence systems used by Ghana’s security agencies. He also worked closely with institutions like the Ghana Navy to strengthen national defense capabilities.
Why Was He Arrested?
The exact reasons for Adu Boahene’s arrest remain unclear, but sources indicate it is part of a broader EOCO-led investigation. The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is responsible for tackling financial crimes, corruption, and organized criminal activities in Ghana.
His high-profile status and involvement in national security operations raise questions about the nature of the investigation. Whether this arrest is linked to financial irregularities, intelligence breaches, or other serious offenses remains to be seen.
What’s Next?
The arrest of a former top intelligence official is expected to spark widespread debate in both political and security circles. Given the sensitive nature of his past role, the case could have far-reaching implications for Ghana’s national security landscape.
As more details emerge, all eyes will be on EOCO and the government’s next steps in handling this high-stakes investigation.
