Justice Srem-Sai, the Deputy Attorney-General, has revealed that the authorities were alerted by the bankers of former National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) Chief Executive Officer, Hanan Aludiba, over an attempt to access his frozen account.
According to the Deputy Attorney-General, Hanan Aludiba was not independently monitored by investigators.
He disclosed that they were informed by the bankers after they detected a suspicious attempt to lift restrictions on the account.
Justice Srem-Sai refuted claims that the prosecutors had been “nosing around” the former NAFCO CEO’s financial affairs.
Speaking on TV3’s Hot Issues on Sunday, July 26, 2026, Justice Srem-Sai stated, “We don’t work at the bank. It was his own bankers who alerted us that, ‘There is something going on here that we don’t think is right.’ That is how we got to know. That’s how we took the steps. It wasn’t as if we were just nosing around”.
“Our suspicion, of course, is that it was an attempt because the bank stopped it. They did not comply with his request, and they called us in. So, we can only say that it was an attempt. We believe that it was an attempt,” he stated.
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”.
Meanwhile, Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, has been released from the custody of has been released from the custody of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI).
Reports detailed that Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba was released at about 8:00 pm on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, without any conditions.
Hanan Abdul-Wahab’s release follows his re-arrest at the Accra International Airport on the night of Saturday, July 4, 2026.
