Lawyer for former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene, Samuel Atta Akyea, has rejected reports that he has abandoned his client amid a dispute over evidence in the ongoing case.
In a statement dated September 10, 2026, Mr Atta Akyea described social media reports claiming that he had withdrawn from the case as “wretched and vile propaganda”.
“My attention has been drawn to some wretched and vile propaganda circulating on social media that I have abandoned my clients,” he said.

The lawyer said the reports appeared to have arisen from a dispute over a document being relied upon by the defence after the prosecution allegedly claimed that the document was fake.
Mr Atta Akyea, however, maintained that the disputed document had already been admitted into evidence without objection before Justice Francis Apangabuno Achibanga, sitting as an additional High Court judge.
He insisted that there was no basis for claims that he had withdrawn from the case.
“I cannot abandon or disown my client,” Mr Atta Akyea said, adding that his legal team is preparing what he described as a “very solid and credible submission of no case”.
The lawyer said the defence remained committed to challenging the prosecution’s allegations through the appropriate legal processes.
He stressed that disputes concerning evidence and the law must ultimately be resolved by the court rather than through commentary on social media.
“Kwabena Adu-Boahene’s case was launched on the platform of a media trial, where lies sell. The court is the forum where evidence and law should settle vexed matters,” he said.
Mr Adu-Boahene, Angela Adjei Boateng and Advantage Solutions Ltd. are facing prosecution in the case, with the defence continuing to contest the allegations brought against them.
Mr Atta Akyea also expressed confidence in the defence’s anticipated submission of no case, describing the allegations against his clients as “sordid”.
The latest comments come as the legal proceedings continue, with the disputed evidence becoming a point of contention between the prosecution and defence.
The defence’s position is that the evidentiary issues should be determined within the judicial process and not through public speculation.
Mr Atta Akyea stressed that the immediate focus remains on presenting the defence’s case before the court and advancing the legal arguments in support of a submission of no case.
