The third prosecution witness in the trial of former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau,(NSB) Kwabena Adu-Boahene, has told the court how she carried out cash withdrawals and transfers on the instructions of the accused.

Mildred Donkor gave her evidence on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, after she was called by state attorneys and adopted her witness statement in court.

According to a 3news.com report, Donkor, who was earlier removed as an accused person to testify for the state, said she was made a director of Advantage Solutions, a company linked to another entity, BNC Communications Limited.

She told the court that Adu-Boahene brought the company documents to her home for her to sign and later asked her to open a bank account for BNC.

She explained that after opening the account, she transferred funds from BNC to Advantage Solutions to enable withdrawals, as the BNC account did not have a cheque book at the time.

The report added that although Donkor was listed as a director, she had no knowledge of the company’s operations and was not involved in its decisions.

She said she acted only on instructions from Adu-Boahene and his wife.

“To satisfy the minimum directorship requirement for Advantage Solutions, he requested that I become the second director, which I consented to. Along the line in 2018, A1 and his wife introduced me to another company - B.N.C Communications Bureau Limited. He called me on the phone that we should open a new company. The company registration documents were brought to me to home to sign,” Mildred Donkor was quoted to have said by 3news.com.

“I took no major decisions, whether financial, operational or strategic. I followed the decisions and instructions of the first accused and his wife. I followed the decisions and instructions of the first accused and his wife,” she insisted.

Donkor also told the court that she was never invited to any board meeting.

“I was never invited to, neither did I attend, any board of directors’ meeting as a director,” she stated.

She said she was given pre-signed cheque books and directed to fill them out to make payments and withdraw large sums of money for third parties.

“I was only given pre-signed cheque books and instructed from time to time to make cheque payments and withdrawals of huge amounts of money to third parties, most of whom are friends and family members of the first accused,” she reportedly told the court.

The witness added that she was made a director in seven other companies she believes are owned by Adu-Boahene.

These include Vertex Solutions Limited, Vertex Properties Limited, Enterprise Dream Collections Ltd, Food Plan Ltd, Kream Auto Collections, Securigence Limited and Urban Kid Limited.

She said funds were moved between these companies on the instructions of the accused.

Adu-Boahene, his wife Angela Boateng, and Advantage Solutions Limited are standing trial for allegedly misappropriating GH¢49 million meant for the purchase of government cybersecurity software.
