The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has arrested Kwabena Adu Boahene, the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), at Kotoka International Airport (KIA) on Thursday morning. The arrest occurred as Boahene arrived on a British Airways flight from London.
According to reports, the arrest took place at around 8:30 a.m. following a joint operation between EOCO investigators, led by Deputy Director Raymond Archer, and officials from the Attorney-General’s Department.
Minority Leader and Effutu Member of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, confirmed the arrest via a Facebook post, explaining that Boahene was told by immigration officers at the airport’s VIP section that there was an issue with his name, which needed to be resolved at the main office in Terminal 3.
Mr. Afenyo-Markin added that EOCO officials, led by Archer, handcuffed Boahene in the departures area before escorting him through the airport with a team of around six officers. Boahene was then placed in a white Nissan Navara pickup, accompanied by armed escorts, and taken to an undisclosed location around 9:47 p.m.
The NSB, under the National Security Council, is responsible for providing secure communications systems for national security and intelligence agencies.
