Republic v Solomon Asamoah & Another (Skytrain Case)

The two accused persons have at the close of the deadline for filing their defence yesterday, filed their respective defences.

What this means is that after the prosecution made a case against them, they are going to offer an explanation or defence as to why the Court must not convict and sentence them for allegedly disbursing $2million for the then proposed Skytrain project without Board approval.

Further updates to come.

Court Update.

The Prosecution a while ago, closed its case in Republic v Kwabena Adu Boahene & 2 Ors (cybersecurity software case) after conclusion of cross-examination of the 4th and last Prosecution Witness.

This means that the State is done leading evidence to substantiate the charges it preferred against the accused persons.

The accused persons, Former National Signals Bureau (NSB) boss, Kwabena Adu Boahene, his wife Angela Adjei Boateng and a company allegedly owned by the two, Advantage Solutions are standing trial for 11 financial offences related to the alleged stealing of GHc49.1 million meant for the purchase of a cyber defense software for the State.

The Prosecution called 4 Witness.

First, a driver of the 1st accused, Frank Anane Dekpey who testified among other things, to running errands on behalf of 1st accused which involved the carrying of cash in “Ghana must go bags” for deposit and withdrawals upon 1st accused’s instructions,

The second witness, Head of Finance at the NSB, Ruby Adumoah Opoku testified as to the transfer of the GHc49.1 million from the account of the NSB into an account unknown to the entity.

The 3rd Prosecution testified that she operated a company set up by the accused persons to move funds and that the accused gave her pre-signed cheques for the purposes of moving these funds.

The 4th Prosecution witness gave details about the nature of account created for the alleged diversion of the said funds, the investigations which unraveled the private expenditure by the accused persons and as well discredited the authenticity of a letter purporting to confirm the purchase of the cybersecurity software.

The accused persons through their Lawyers after close of Prosecution’s case indicated that they intend to file a “submission of no case”.
The Court has given them 2 weeks, precisely by the 25th of September to do so.
The Prosecution has been given same two weeks to respond after the service of the application.

The Court has set 5th November 2026 to give its judgement on whether a case has been made out by the prosecution to warrant the accused persons opening their defence or not.

Court Update.

The Court of Appeal has dismissed Prof Christopher Ameyaw Ekumfi’s application for stay of proceedings of his trial at the High Court.

Prof Ameyaw Ekumfi, the former Board Chair of GIIF and 2nd accused person in the Skytrain trial was asking the Court of Appeal to order a stay of the proceedings in his trial at the High Court pending an appeal he has filed on the High Court’s decision to refuse his “submission of no case”.

The Court of Appeal however reasoned that the applicant has not demonstrated exceptional circumstances to warrant the court granting the relief prayed for.

The Court therefore ordered the case to take its normal course.

With both the injunction by the 1st accused and a stay of proceedings application by the 2nd accused out of the way, the accused persons are expected to file their defences by 23rd September 2026 for the trial to continue.

Court Update.

Republic v Solomon Asamoah & Another (Skytrain case)

The Supreme Court has dismissed an application for interlocutory injunction sought against the skytrain trial.

The 1st accused person, Former Ghana Infrastructure Investment (GIIF) boss, Mr Solomon Asamoah, filed a certiorari application seeking to quash the decision of the High Court refusing his submission of no case after the close of Prosecution’s case. Subsequent to this, he sought an injunction to restrain the High Court from proceeding with his trial pending the determination of the certiorari application and a further suspension of the orders requiring him to open his defence.

The Court constituted of Justice Senyo Dzamefe, JSC sitting as a single Justice of the Supreme Court after hearing arguments last Friday, dismissed the injunction application this morning ruling that the applicant, based on his own affidavit evidence, does not disclose a serious case to be tried, as the matters complained of are matters for appeal.
The court also reasoned that the decision by the trial judge to rule on the submission of no case is not an exercise made without or in excess of jurisdiction and as well that the applicant has not made out a case for what irreparable harm will be caused when the injunction is not granted.

This ruling means that proceedings in the trial can go on as scheduled and won’t be halted to wait for the outcome of the certiorari application filed by the applicant.

The High Court has scheduled 23rd September as the final extended deadline for the accused persons to file their defence if they wish to do so.

In a related development, the 2nd accused person, Prof Christopher Ameyaw Ekumfi has filed a repeat application for stay of proceedings which is scheduled to be heard on the 1st of September at the Court of Appeal.

The two accused persons, Former CEO of the GIIF, Mr Solomon Asamoah and Former Board Chair of GIIF, Prof Christopher Ameyaw Ekumfi, are standing trial for allegedly paying $2million for a Skytrain project without board approval.
