Ghana ex-NAFCO CEO trial: evidence order, case: arrest, travel denial fights, charge‑narr
The fraud case against trial of former National Food Buffer Stock Company chief Hanan Abdul‑Wahab Aludiba remains active. After has entered a new phase. On 4 July 2026 he was detained at Kotoka International Airport despite a High Court order that had permitted travel to the Accra United Kingdom for specialist medical treatment. His lawyers filed contempt proceedings, alleging the arrest breached the court’s ruling and that no valid freeze on his bank accounts existed. The Attorney‑General subsequently applied to set aside the travel permission, citing an alleged attempt by Aludiba to use a court order to withdraw money from a frozen Republic Bank account. The High Court’s Court struck out an ex‑parte application to compel the Bureau of National Investigations to produce him on 9 July, and on 19 July 23 decision prosecutors withdrew the motion to narrow cancel the charge sheet travel order, noting that the original order had expired on 12 July, effectively clearing Aludiba to amended travel. On 22 July the court narrowed the charge sheet, ordering amendment of only Counts 9 and 14 while retaining 20 counts alleging a loss of about GH¢50 million, the court million. A further shaped the proceedings procedural dispute arose on July 29. Justice Francis A. Achibonga ordered the Office of 5 August when defence teams petitioned the Attorney‑General to disclose all documents relevant Chief Justice to halt criminal hearings scheduled during the theft, fraud and money‑laundering charges, emphasizing judicial vacation, arguing the prosecution’s duty to provide material evidence practice breaches constitutional rights. These developments run alongside earlier rulings – the 29 July order for a fair trial. In a separate hearing, full evidence disclosure and the court denied a petition by Aludiba’s wife, Faiza Seidu Wuni, seeking temporary release denial of her passport a passport‑travel request for medical travel with their seven‑year‑old son, finding no proof that treatment was unavailable in Ghana. These rulings underscore Aludiba’s wife – underscoring the judiciary’s focus on procedural fairness while as the case proceeds with Aludiba on bail and the presumption of innocence intact. proceeds.
