The cross-examination of Mildred Donkor, the third accused-turned-prosecution-witness in the ongoing trial of embattled former Director General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene, ended on June 15, 2026.
Details on Mildred Donkor's last day on the witness stand, a former director of Adu-Boahene's companies, shared on the Facebook page of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL), show that the trial ended on a poetic note.
While one party was quoting from scripture, the other relied on traditional adages.
Samuel Atta Akyea, the lawyer for Adu-Boahene, took inspiration from the Holy Scriptures, the Bible, while concluding his line of questioning to cast doubt on Donkor's testimony.
The lawyer quoted Exodus 20:16, which reads, “Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.”
Mildred Donkor replied to Atta Akyea with her own quote, which was more traditional compared to the biblical quote of Adu-Boahene’s lawyer.
“Madam Mildred Donkor, who was the banker of the accused persons and a director of their companies, was initially charged with the accused persons but was later withdrawn and made a prosecution witness when she offered to testify for the state,” she is quoted to have said.
The post indicated that Donkor, in her testimony, detailed “the transactions and transfers of various amounts involving the GH¢49.1 million alleged to have been stolen by the accused persons.”

Court Update
Cross-examination has ended for the third prosecution witness, Madam Mildred Donkor, in Republic v Kwabena Adu Boahene & 2 Ors (Cybersecurity Software Case).
Counsel for the accused, Samuel Atta Akyea Esq., ended his questioning on a biblical note by quoting Exodus 20:16 and reading the text: “Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.”
To this, the witness responded on a proverbial note:
“My Lord, a frog that is coming out of the water to tell you that the crocodile is dead and the dog that is walking on the surface of the earth, who will you believe? I said the truth and I said what I know.”
Madam Mildred Donkor, who was the banker of the accused persons and a director of their companies, was initially charged with the accused persons but was later withdrawn and made a prosecution witness when she offered to testify for the state.

The trial has been adjourned to Thursday, June 18, 2026, at 10:30 in the forenoon for the fourth prosecution witness, the investigator in the case, to mount the witness box and begin giving his evidence.
