Godfred Dame questions legality of former NAFCO CEO’s arrest, says access to client was denied

The former Attorney-General also disputed claims by Deputy Attorney-General Dr Justice Srem-Sai that Abdul-Wahab's arrest was linked to an attempt to access funds in a frozen bank account.

While Dr Justice Srem-Sai has maintained that the arrest was prompted by an alleged attempt to obtain funds from a frozen account through false means, Mr Dame insists the allegation is unsupported because no valid freezing order was in force at the time.

Mr Dame further criticised the manner in which the arrest was carried out, saying he never authorised similar actions during his tenure as Attorney-General, even in high-profile criminal prosecutions.
