Dr Ayine made the claims during a recent press conference held in response to the move by Mr Adu Boahene and his wife after they were implicated in the $7 million cyber defence system contract dollar scandal.
Mr Adu-Boahene sued the Attorney General for defamation on April 24, 2025. In the suit, the plaintiffs alleged that Dr Ayine's public remarks falsely portrayed them as criminals and fraudsters who had embezzled state funds and engaged in money laundering.
However, the former Signals Bureau boss and his wife have been formally charged by the Attorney General with money laundering.
During a press conference on April 30, 2025, announcing the charges against Mr Adu-Boahene, the Attorney General also stated that Mr Adu-Boahene illegally received monthly payments from the Ghana Water Company Limited.

The AG explained that GWCL entered into an agreement with the Signals Bureau to provide internet services to the government institution.
However, instead of the funds being transferred to the state, Mr Adu-Boahene provided the account details of his private company for the funds to be sent to.
Mr Adu-Boahene has yet to publicly comment or dispute the Attorney General's latest accusations against him.
