Deputy Attorney-General Dr. Justice Srem Sai has underscored the importance of due process, cautioning against presuming individuals guilty before a court ruling.
His comments follow the arrest of former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu Boahene by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
Boahene was apprehended at Kotoka International Airport upon his arrival from London on a British Airways flight.
The joint operation, carried out at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, was led by EOCO investigators, including Deputy Director Raymond Archer, in collaboration with officials from the Attorney-General’s Department.
In a Facebook post on Friday, March 21, Dr. Srem Sai revealed that he had visited Boahene and his wife, Madam Angela Adjei-Boateng, who are in custody assisting with investigations.
He assured that both individuals had access to legal representation and were being treated well.
Emphasizing fairness in legal proceedings, Dr. Sai stated, “No one, regardless of the nature of the suspicion or accusations, should be treated as guilty until they’re actually proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction.”
