Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), is facing serious allegations of embezzling millions of dollars meant for the country’s cybersecurity efforts.
According to political commentator Kevin Taylor, Adu-Boahene is accused of using stolen state funds to purchase over 37 properties in Ghana and abroad.
These properties, including multiple high-value homes in Accra and the UK, were allegedly bought with money that should have been used for national security.
Adu-Boahene, who is the son of Albert Adu-Boahene, the NPP’s 1992 presidential candidate, reportedly bought 27 houses in a gated estate at Oyarifa, costing $295,000 each.
This brings the total cost of these properties to a staggering $7.9 million. In addition to these, he is said to have purchased several other properties in the Tseaddo area, with some costing as much as $1 million or more. He is also believed to have bought two houses in the United Kingdom.

The most troubling part of this story is the alleged use of funds from the National Signals Bureau to finance these property purchases. According to Taylor, Adu-Boahene was able to withdraw large amounts of money, reportedly as much as 7 million cedis a day, and transfer it into his private real estate investments.
This alleged misuse of state funds is especially concerning given Adu-Boahene’s position at the NSB, an organization responsible for national security and the protection of sensitive government data. Instead of using the allocated funds for their intended purpose, he is accused of diverting them for personal gain.
Further complicating the matter is Adu-Boahene’s connection to his brother, Charles Adu-Boahene, a former Deputy Finance Minister.
Charles was also involved in a separate bribery scandal, where he was caught on tape accepting a bribe of $200,000.
These family ties have raised questions about whether the two brothers were involved in a broader pattern of corruption.
Adu-Boahene was arrested in March 2025 upon his return to Ghana, and he is currently under investigation by the National Investigations Bureau.
As the investigation continues, more details are expected to emerge about the full extent of his financial activities, including his real estate dealings and the possible involvement of others in the scheme.
This case has brought to light troubling questions about the management of public funds and the lack of oversight within Ghana’s government institutions.
While Adu-Boahene’s arrest marks an important step toward accountability, the public remains anxious to see whether this will lead to meaningful reforms and transparency in how government resources are managed.
The outcome of this investigation may have far-reaching implications for the future of Ghana’s political and financial systems.
