The third prosecution witness in the criminal trial of former BNC Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene, Mildred Donkor, has told the High Court that the GH¢16 million fixed deposit at the centre of the Attorney-General’s allegations was not held in Adu-Boahene’s personal name.
Under cross-examination on Thursday, June 11, 2026, Donkor stated that the fixed deposit certificate (Exhibit 28) was addressed to BNC Communications Bureau Limited, not to Adu-Boahene personally.
When asked whether the certificate was in his name, she replied, “No my Lord, it is not in his name.”
Her testimony appears to contradict earlier claims by Attorney-General Dr. Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, who had publicly suggested that GH¢16 million in state funds had been placed in a fixed deposit account in Adu-Boahene’s personal name.
The court also heard questions about an alleged GH¢2.5 million transfer to one Rashida Saani.
Donkor maintained that she had previously testified about the transfer but said she could not remember whether the allegation appeared in her earlier statements to EOCO.
She further stated that she had been “coached” during her time at EOCO and that her witness statement was prepared based on questions from her lawyer after she reviewed the charge sheet.
The case has been adjourned to June 15, 2026, for the continuation of Donkor’s cross-examination.
