An Accra High Court has thrown out an application filed by lawyers for former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, seeking to strike out portions of the prosecution’s reply.

According to court details shared by Kwesi Botchway Jnr on Facebook on October 29, 2026, the court dismissed the application, stating that it was not its duty to investigate whether the prosecution had relied on non-existent evidence or wrongly attributed statements to witnesses.

The court, identified as Specialised Court 1, further stated that it could not determine the merits of the application.

It noted that the applicants had exercised their right of reply and extensively highlighted the alleged misrepresentations, which the court had taken note of.

“However, Court observed that it was not its duty to investigate whether counsel had relied on non-existent evidence or misattributed statements to witnesses. It further stated that it was unable to determine the merits or demerits of the application.

“The Court noted that the applicants had exercised their right of reply and exhaustively highlighted the alleged misrepresentations which court has taken note,” he wrote.

It will be recalled that Adu-Boahene and his legal team, led by Samuel Atta Akyea, challenged the prosecution’s written submissions over alleged misrepresentations of witness testimony and documentary evidence.

The application, filed on October 19, 2026, sought to strike out specific portions of the prosecution’s response to the accused persons’ submission of no case to answer.
