Hannan Abdul-Wahab and his wife, Faiza Seidu Wuni, pleaded not guilty to 24 counts of stealing, defrauding by false pretences, intentional dissipation of public funds, money laundering, and using public office for profit.
The case was presided over by Justice Audrey Kocuvi-Tay at the High Court in Accra.
Hannan Abdul-Wahab was granted bail in the sum of GHS100 million with six sureties; he is to four with landed property. The court also ordered him to be placed on a stop-list at all entry and exit points in the country.
Faiza Seidu Wuni, the second accused, was separately granted bail in the sum of GHS50 million with four sureties.
Three of whom are to be justified with landed property within the Court’s jurisdiction.
Also, both are expected to deposit copies of their Ghana Cards and are required to inform and update the Court of any change in address.
Additionally, the accused must report to the investigator every Wednesday until the final determination of the case.
The high court directed that disclosures be filed by 27th November at 9:00 a.m.
Dr Justice Srem-Sai, the Deputy Attorney-General during the trial, did not oppose bail, but asked the Court to take into account the gravity and nature of the offences.
He labelled them as white-collar crimes involving more than GHS115 million.
Joseph Dindiok Kpemka, the counsel for the accused, urged the Court to grant bail, arguing that both suspects are a married couple with young children and have fully cooperated with EOCO investigations
Meanwhile, the case has been adjourned for a Case Management Conference on November 27, 2025.
