The Attorney General has told the Accra High Court that Mr Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, who’s standing trial for stealing and causing financial loss to the tune of over GHc70 million, presented an online booking on the website of a UK Health and Beauty Retailer, “Boots”, to the Court to secure the order granting him leave to travel.

This was contained in an affidavit in support of a motion to revoke an order granting leave to the accused person to travel deposed to by Radiatu Abdulai, Assistant Staff Officer at EOCO.

According to the Court document, despite representing to the Court that he is scheduled for specialist medical care of his eye condition in the UK, Mr Hanan only presented a booking of a UK beauty retailer to the Court, based on which the Court granted leave.

The affidavit further stated that the medical report presented to the Court did not in any way support his claim of urgent medical need.

Paragraph 11 of the affidavit states:

“That the two medical diagnostic reports which A1 submitted to the Court as evidence of his medical condition did not, in any way, support his claims of medical need – the two reports converging on the point that A1 was suffering from allergies and catarrh, treatable by administering anti-allergic eyedrops.

It continues;

“That A1 could not present to this Court a valid medical appointment from a medical officer in London, but rather a British health and beauty retailer and pharmacy chain online booking (as Exhibit HS3 therein).

This conduct, the Attorney General says, has constituted the accused person as a more significant flight risk than he was in the Court’s eyes immediately before the grant of leave to travel.

Based on these and other facts, the Attorney General is seeking an order revoking the earlier order granting Mr Hanan leave to travel outside the jurisdiction.

The application will be heard on Thursday, 16th July 2026 at 9 am”.

The development follows Deputy Attorney-General, Dr Justice Srem Sai, disclosing that the former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO), Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, has been arrested at the Accra International Airport after allegedly trying to illegally withdraw money from his frozen Republic Bank account.

According to Dr Justice Srem Sai, Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba was arrested after an attempt to use “false means” to access funds in a frozen bank account.

 Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba is currently on trial for stealing and causing financial loss to the state and had been granted permission by the High Court to travel to the United Kingdom for a few days.

Dr Justice Srem Sai disclosed that although the court had allowed him to travel to the UK, he will ask the court on Monday to cancel that permission.

In an X post on Saturday, July 4, Dr Sai wrote, “Law enforcement officers have, a while ago, arrested Mr HANAN ABDUL-WAHAB ALUDIBA at the Accra International Airport.

MR ALUDIBA, who is currently standing trial for stealing and causing financial loss to the Republic, was granted leave by the trial High Court to travel to the UK for a few days.

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.

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”.
