Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, the former CEO of the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO), was arrested at the Accra International Airport after what authorities describe as an attempt to use “false means” to access funds in a frozen bank account, according to Deputy Attorney-General Dr. Justice Srem Sai.
Dr. Sai said on Facebook on Saturday, July 4, that Abdul-Wahab, who is on trial for allegedly stealing and inflicting financial loss to the Republic, had been given permission by the High Court to spend a few days in the United Kingdom.
However, he said that later events led to the involvement of law enforcement.
“Law enforcement officers have, a while ago, arrested Mr Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba at the Accra International Airport,” Dr. Sai stated.
“It was, however, Mr Aludiba’s attempt to use false means to empty his frozen bank account with Republic Bank on Thursday which occasioned tonight’s arrest.” he posted.
Additionally, Dr. Sai revealed that the Attorney-General will contest the High Court’s ruling allowing Abdul-Wahab to travel.
He stated, “The learned Attorney-General will, on Monday, seek a review of the court order which granted Mr Aludiba leave to travel out of the country.”
