The Deputy Attorney General, Justice Srem-Sai, has confirmed that the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his wife are still being held at the Economic and Organised Crime (EOCO) despite being granted bail.

“We gave them bail conditions about 160 million Ghana Cedis with sureties to be justified. So, they brought some properties belonging to some of their friends, families, and we are verifying the titles of those properties to see if we will accept them in order to grant the bail.

“With respect to Adu-Boahene, I got a brief last night and I am thinking that he should continue to stay in detention. If we are granting the wife and other suspects bail, he should continue to stay in detention because of what has come to my knowledge. So, I have advised EOCO to vary the bail terms or release him and we will go to court in order to meet the 48-hour constitutional threshold, maybe likely today,” he said.

However, the legal team of the former NSB boss has demanded their release pursuant to the 48-hour constitutional threshold.

“In today’s Ghana, an Attorney General acutely aware that he has violated the rights of our clients relating to the not more than forty-eight hours (48 hour) incarceration constitutional prescription and tells the whole world that he can play with the bail issues by releasing our clients and rearresting them,” a portion of the statement read.

Responding to this development, the Deputy Attorney General, Justice Srem-Sai said on JoyNews' ‘PM Express’ on March 24, 2025, that the couple are being held at EOCO because they have failed to meet the bail conditions.

“They have been granted bail and they’re working around the clock to satisfy the conditions of the bail. As soon as they fulfil these conditions, why not, they can leave,” he said.
