Alleged Embezzlement, Frozen Accounts: Why Adu-Boahene, Nii-Armah Quaye are trending

This has caused Adu-Boahene to trend on social media, particularly on X, for Tuesday, March 25, 2025.
According to the AG, while speaking at a presser on March 24, 2025, during which he provided updates on the arrest of Kwabena Adu-Boahene and about the investigations made so far into the matter, the suspect allegedly acquired landed properties in Accra and 2 others in London, with some of the properties estimated at millions of US dollars.
Some of the properties include landed properties at Mayfair Estates at LA, Accra; Vertex Properties at Oyarifa Gated Estate Development, among others.
In light of this, some netizens have called for the prosecution of the suspect, expressing outrage over his rapid accumulation of assets within a short period and the alleged embezzlement of state funds during his tenure in office.
Critics have further questioned the morality and greed often displayed by politically exposed persons, who, upon getting the opportunity to serve, accumulate stolen wealth for themselves.
They specifically highlighted how many individuals who, prior to entering public office, had limited assets, but managed to amass substantial wealth in relatively short periods.
Additionally, some have raised concerns about the extent of corruption occurring within major ministries and agencies, considering the alleged crimes committed at the NSB, which they regard as a lesser-known government entity.
Other trending topics are Atta Akyea and #RNAQ40.
