You Sold a Stolen Car, Show Remorse and Don’t Anger me Further – Atta Akyea Tells Brobbey
Samuel Atta Akyea, Lawyer for former Director General of the National Security Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene, has slammed Mr. Philip Kwame Brobbey, the man accused of selling a stolen vehicle to businessman Kwabena Adu-Boahene, for issuing what he describes as “empty threats” instead of demonstrating remorse over the controversial sale.
In a letter dated August 1, 2025, and signed by legal firm Zoe, Akyea & Co., rejected claims of defamation made against their client by legal representatives of Mr. Philip Kwame Brobbey, insisting that the real issue lies in the sale of a vehicle later flagged by Interpol as stolen.
Mr. Adu-Boahene’s legal team responded to a previous letter from Kwesi Baffoe Intsiful of Intsiful Law Consult, which had demanded a retraction and apology for alleged defamatory remarks made against Mr. Brobbey.
“We are totally surprised how our Client has defamed your Client,” the letter stated.
It emphasised that public attention should rather be focused on the underlying transaction that led to the controversy: the purchase of a luxury BMW 740D, now at the center of criminal investigations due to its stolen status.
According to Adu-Boahene’s lawyers, their client was unknowingly drawn into a criminal web after purchasing the vehicle, only to later discover through Interpol red flags that the car had been stolen.
They argue that Mr. Brobbey, the seller, bears full responsibility for failing to exercise due diligence before completing the sale.
“Your Client can enjoy his post facto rationalisations,” the letter said, “not having himself conducted any due diligence on the stolen vehicle before selling it to our Client.”
The lawyers attached a separate complaint sent to the Commissioner of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority, with copies to the Director-General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), reinforcing that formal investigations into the transaction are actively underway.
They also urged Mr. Brobbey to fully cooperate with the ongoing police investigations rather than resorting to threats of defamation lawsuits. “Please do not vex us twice with a threat of a defamation action,” the letter cautioned.
The dispute stems from the high-value sale of a BMW 740D, allegedly misrepresented to Mr. Adu-Boahene and now under scrutiny from law enforcement agencies.
