The Deputy Attorney-General, Dr. Justice Srem Sai, has underscored the importance of due process, cautioning against presuming individuals guilty before a court of law establishes their culpability.
His remarks follow the arrest of Kwabena Adu Boahene, former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO). Mr. Boahene was apprehended at Kotoka International Airport (KIA) upon his arrival from London on a British Airways flight.
In a Facebook post on Friday, March 21, Dr. Srem Sai revealed that he had visited Mr. Boahene and his wife, Madam Angela Adjei-Boateng, who are currently in custody assisting with investigations. He assured that both individuals have access to legal representation and are being treated appropriately.
Emphasising the need for fairness in legal proceedings, Dr. Sai stated, “No one, regardless of the nature of the suspicion or accusations, should be treated as guilty until proven so by a court of competent jurisdiction.”
