Former National Signals Bureau Director-General arrested for alleged $2.2m money laundering

Mr. Kwabena Adu Boahen, the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), is charged with laundering more than $2.2 million in real estate holdings.

Dr. Dominic Ayine, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, claims that Mr. Boahen used a private company he founded to sign contracts on behalf of the state that involved the misappropriation of state monies.

According to Dr. Ayine, the former Director-General used the money that had been laundered to buy properties both in Accra and overseas, most of which were in La and along the Accra-Akosombo road.

After returning from overseas, Mr. Boahen, who was Director-General from 2017 to 2025, was detained on March 20 at Kotoko International Airport and is presently being held.

During a news conference on Monday, the Attorney-General revealed the actions of Operation Recover All Loots (ORAL), the now-defunct anti-corruption agency.
