Former NAFCO boss files habeas corpus application over airport arrest

However, lawyers for Abdul-Wahab 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.

The application comes after the applicant was arrested at the Kotoka International Airport on July 4 while attempting to travel to London under a court order granting him leave for medical treatment.

Lawyers for former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO), Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, have filed an application for an order of habeas corpus, seeking to compel the Director of the Bureau of National Intelligence and the Attorney-General to produce him before the High Court.
