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”.

The Attorney General has told the Accra High Court that Mr Hanan, who’s standing trial for stealing and causing financial loss to the tune of over GHc70 million, misrepresented a deefrezing order of his landed assets as a defreezing order of his Bank accounts to his Bankers in order to withdraw monies from those frozen accounts.

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 two freezing orders one dated July 14, 2025, and the other dated July 28, 2025, both of which froze all bank accounts, either belonging to the accused person or his accomplices, Mr Hanan subsequent to the Court’s travel leave, attempted to withdraw all the money from those accounts, notwithstanding that the freezing confirmation orders on the bank accounts remained undischarged.

The affidavit continued that to create the impression that these court orders have been discharged, Mr Hanan presented a Ruling which purported to defreeze the account, but a review of that Ruling showed that the said Ruling was in respect of a completely different set of assets, namely, landed properties and not the said bank accounts.

The affidavits say the Bankers, alarmed by Mr Hanan’s obvious misrepresentation, immediately informed the Office of the Attorney General and the investigators at EOCO.

This conduct, the Attorney-General says, occasioned a reasonable suspicion that the accused has committed a criminal offence, namely, a breach of a court freezing order, or is about to commit a criminal offence, namely, imminent breach of this Court’s order to return to stand trial; hence his arrest and the present application seeking to revoke the order granting him leave to travel.

The application will be heard on Thursday, 16th July 2026 at 9 o’clock in the forenoon”.
