Speaking to the media, Atta Akyea indicated that the arrest was in relation to a different crime that had to do with National Security providing internet services to Ghana Water Limited.
“I’ve been hinted that it relates to secured Internet services for the benefit of another state institution, the Ghana Water Company, that national security provided them with gadgets and well-meaning things, so that if you’re even in your room, you’ll be able to see the pipes whether they are being tampered with,” he said.
Regarding the current case involving the alleged diversion of GH¢49.1 million, the judge has adjourned proceedings to May 26 for a case management conference.
The state has filed all its witness statements and is expected to disclose them to the defense by no later than May 20.
