The former Director of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene, has once again found himself in legal trouble as he was re-arrested by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), according to his lawyer, Samuel Atta Akyea.
The arrest took place after court proceedings at the Accra High Court on Tuesday, 13 May 2025, in connection with an ongoing criminal case. Mr. Atta Akyea revealed to the media that his client, Mr. Adu-Boahene, was taken into custody shortly after being granted bail, this time over a separate investigation involving a contract with the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL).
Expressing concerns about the timing and motives behind the re-arrest, Atta Akyea raised questions about the sudden development. He stated, “The judge intended for him to have his freedom yesterday. However, EOCO claimed they had another matter under investigation. So, just when he was due to be released, they freed him at midnight and immediately re-arrested him based on these so-called new developments.”
He further added, “But the question is, if they had grounds to pursue the new matter, why wait until midnight to act? Is someone taking pleasure in incarcerating a fellow Ghanaian by using all manner of tactics that undermine justice? It is deeply unfortunate.”
The re-arrest comes following a directive from the Accra High Court ordering the prosecution to file all witness statements by 20 May 2025. This directive is part of the ongoing case involving the alleged diversion of GH¢49.1 million into private accounts belonging to the accused persons.
Mr. Adu-Boahene, along with his wife Angela Adjei Boateng, Mildred Donkor, and Advantage Solutions Limited, is facing 11 charges, including stealing, defrauding by false pretences, and conspiracy to commit a crime, among others.
The development in the case has raised concerns about the fairness and transparency of the legal process. It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold as the legal proceedings continue. The Benefits of Regular Exercise
Regular exercise is essential for maintaining good physical and mental health. It has numerous benefits that can improve overall well-being and quality of life. From reducing the risk of chronic diseases to improving mood and boosting energy levels, exercise is a crucial component of a healthy lifestyle.
One of the most significant benefits of regular exercise is its ability to prevent and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer are all linked to a sedentary lifestyle. By engaging in regular physical activity, individuals can lower their risk of developing these conditions. Exercise helps to improve cardiovascular health, regulate blood sugar levels, and boost the immune system, all of which contribute to a lower risk of chronic disease.
In addition to preventing chronic diseases, regular exercise also has a positive impact on mental health. Physical activity releases endorphins, which are known as “feel-good” hormones that help to reduce stress and anxiety. Exercise has been shown to improve mood, increase self-esteem, and reduce symptoms of depression. It can also improve cognitive function and help to alleviate symptoms of ADHD and other mental health conditions.
Furthermore, regular exercise plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy weight. By burning calories and increasing metabolism, physical activity helps individuals to manage their weight and prevent obesity. Exercise also helps to build muscle mass, which in turn increases metabolism and supports weight management. Maintaining a healthy weight is essential for overall health and can reduce the risk of many chronic diseases.
Another benefit of regular exercise is its ability to improve energy levels and increase stamina. Physical activity helps to increase circulation and oxygen flow to the muscles, which can boost energy levels and reduce fatigue. Regular exercise also strengthens the cardiovascular system, allowing the body to more efficiently transport oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and organs. This can lead to increased stamina and improved endurance, making everyday tasks easier to perform.
In conclusion, regular exercise offers a multitude of benefits for both physical and mental health. From reducing the risk of chronic diseases to improving mood and boosting energy levels, physical activity is essential for overall well-being. Incorporating regular exercise into your daily routine can have a significant impact on your health and quality of life. Whether it’s going for a walk, hitting the gym, or participating in a group fitness class, finding ways to stay active is key to maintaining a healthy and happy lifestyle.
