Former NAFCO CEO’s lawyers move to cite AG for contempt over airport arrest

Describing the airport arrest as a “blatant and wilful violation” of a High Court order, Dame said the legal team would proceed with contempt proceedings against the Attorney-General, the Deputy Attorney-General, and the Director of the BNI.

Lawyers representing Hanan Abdul-Wahab have announced plans to file contempt proceedings against the Attorney-General, the Deputy Attorney-General, and the Director of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), accusing them of deliberately breaching a High Court order by orchestrating their client’s arrest at the Accra International Airport despite the court having approved his travel.

The legal team also maintains that no valid court order freezing Abdul-Wahab’s bank accounts existed at the time of his arrest.
