A-G seeks to cancel Ex-NAFCO boss's travel permit over alleged attempt to access frozen accounts
The Attorney-General has filed an application at the High Court seeking to set aside the travel permit the trial court granted to former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food Buffer Stock Company, Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, who is standing trial on charges of stealing and causing financial loss to the state.
However, lawyers for Aludiba have announced plans to initiate contempt proceedings against the Attorney-General, Deputy Attorney-General, and the Director of the Bureau of National Investigations, alleging they deliberately violated a High Court order by causing their client's arrest despite judicial approval for his travel.
