Court delays former NAFCO CEO trial to resolve access to seized gadgets

Lead counsel for Mr Aludiba, former Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame, told the court that the phones contained information relevant to the proceedings and necessary for the preparation of his client’s defence.

The trial of former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food and Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO), Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, and his co-accused has been delayed after the court ruled that they require additional time to examine electronic devices seized by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

He argued that access to the devices was necessary, among other things, to enable the first accused to prepare objections to documents the prosecution intends to tender in evidence.
