Hanan Abdul-Wahab’s release follows his re-arrest at the Accra International Airport on the night of Saturday, July 4, 2026.
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”.
Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba’s latest arrest triggered a fresh legal dispute between the Attorney-General’s Office and his lawyers, with questions raised over the former Buffer stock CEO’s detention.
Earlier, Godfred Yeboah Dame accused EOCO of defying court bail with a GH¢5m condition to detain his client.
According to Dame, Hanan Abdul-Wahab’s arrest is totally unfair, an abuse of power by the Attorney-General, EOCO and BNI, and a deliberate scheme to disobey the order of the High Court, Accra.
He alleged that EOCO has a ploy to keep their client in its custody, purported to impose conditions of bail in the sum of 5 Million Ghana Cedis with two sureties to be justified, even though he is already on a court-granted bail and is reporting fortnightly to EOCO.
