The Minority in Parliament is concerned over what it calls "pre-trial punishment" disguised as bail conditions imposed on Abdul Hannan Wahab, the former CEO of the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO)and his wife.
Following a dramatic arrest operation by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) on June 25 in both Accra and Tamale, Alhaji Wahab and his wife were detained for alleged tax evasion, money laundering, and causing financial loss to the state.
But according to the Minority, the mode of arrest and the subsequent bail terms were nothing short of persecution. "Mr Wahab was picked up like a fugitive.
His wife, too.
