..Months after Emirates country reps kidnapping

Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), has been dismissed.

Dr George Atta-Boateng, who was initially associated with the National Communications Authority (NCA) when the Mahama government assumed office, has since replaced him.

The Herald, has learnt that Mr Adu-Boahene, thought he could rely on Rev Dr Stephen Wengam, the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God in Ghana, in an attempt to retain his position, however, President John Mahama, had alternative plans for the Bureau, which operates under the National Security Council.

Dr Atta-Boateng, officially assumed the role on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.

Mr Adu-Boahene, made headlines in November last year, after reports linked him and Rashida Saani Nasamu, a media personality and event organiser, to the kidnapping of Sylvia Patience Baah, the Emirates Airlines Airport Services Manager in Accra.

The kidnapping incident, which took place on Thursday, November 21, 2024, was orchestrated by Rashida Saani Nasamu, using operatives from Ghana’s National Security Secretariat.

This followed a dispute regarding Sylvia’s decision to remove Rashida, Mr Adu-Boahene, and Benjamin Ansah, the Operations Director of the NSB, from a Dubai-bound flight due to their late arrival at Kotoka International Airport (KIA).
