Frank Anane Dekpey, the First Prosecution Witness in the trial of Kwabena Adu-Boahen, a former Director of the National Signals Bureau and three others, says he usually delivers money from the bank in “Ghana Must Go” for Mr Adu-Boahen.”
He said he was unaware of the exact amounts as the cheques were sealed, and noted that the funds were typically deposited into accounts held by “Perfect Solutions.”
In an evidence-in-chief led by Dr Justice Srem-Sai, the Deputy Attorney General, the witness said he worked for Adu-Boahen and the other accused persons as their chauffeur for five years, and mostly ran bank errands for them.
Mr Frank Anane Dekpey, a resident of Accra, told the court, before working as a chauffeur for the accused persons, he was a taxi driver for 12 years.
He said he knew the third accused, Mildred Donkor, from the Cedar Mountain Chapel International, where they both worshipped and ran errands for her, including washing her vehicle.
He claimed Donkor often sent him to deposit or withdraw money at UMB or Stanbic Bank to be given to Mr Adu-Boahen at his office located at Labone in Accra.
He said he used to collect money from the Labone branch of UMB bank and also make deposits and withdrawals from the Airport branch of Stanbic Bank on the instructions of Madam Donkor.
The witness said most of the time, he did not know the exact amount of money he withdrew because the cheques were sealed in an envelope and directed by Madam Donkor to be delivered to a specific staff member at the bank for cashing.
In a cross-examination, Mr Samuel Atta Akyea, Counsel for the defence, asked the witness whether he had worked with the National Security before, but the witness answered in the negative.
Mr Atta Akyea inquired into the arrest of the witness by EOCO, and the witness admitted that he was invited by the Organisation, which he voluntarily honoured.
Mr Anane Dekpey said he was detained for almost a week, interrogated, and released on bail.
The witness said he was interrogated because his signature was found behind the bank receipts.
The case has been adjourned to July 25, 2025.
