Meanwhile, an Accra High Court has reduced the bail conditions for Kwabena Adu Boahene following an appeal by his lawyers.

In court, the Deputy Attorney General, Justice Srem Sai, informed the court that Mr Adu Boahene's wife, Angela Adjei Boateng allegedly attempted to destroy evidence by transporting suspected currency bills in suitcases on the night of her husband's arrest.

Mr Adu Boahene’s lawyer, Samuel Atta Akyea, described the bail sum as excessive and petitioned for a reduction, which was eventually granted.

After hearing arguments from both sides, the court reduced the initial bail sum from GH₵120 million to GH₵80 million, with two sureties, one of whom must be justified.

However, his wife, is still required to meet the GH₵80 million bail condition, with two sureties to be justified.

Additionally, the couple must report to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) three times a week. They are also prohibited from travelling unless granted express permission by EOCO.
