Judge orders full disclosure before plea deal in Adu Boahene trial

Justice John Nyadu Nyante, the presiding judge in the trial of former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director Kwabena Adu Boahene, has ruled that any discussions regarding a plea bargain can only proceed after full disclosures have been filed and served on the defense.

This directive came after the prosecution requested additional time to submit the necessary documents.

Deputy Attorney General Dr. Justice Srem-Sai informed the court that the delay was due to the unavailability of a key investigator who had been unwell.

He assured the court, however, that the investigator would be available by Friday, May 30, 2025.

Following this assurance, the court ordered that all disclosures must be filed by Monday, June 2, 2025.

While the judge did not publicly explain the reasoning behind the directive, it followed a private sidebar meeting involving Justice Nyante, Dr. Srem-Sai, and defense lawyer Samuel Atta Akyea. The meeting was held at the request of the Deputy Attorney General.

The case has been adjourned to June 11 for a case management conference
