Hanan Abdul-Wahab trial adjourned after Wontumi judgment delays court proceedings

The Criminal Division of the Accra High Court has rescheduled the trial of former Chief Executive Officer of the National Buffer Stock Company, Hanan Abdul-Wahab, after proceedings were disrupted by the lengthy judgment delivered in the case involving New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.

Hanan Abdul-Wahab and his wife, Faiza Seidu Wuni, are facing trial over allegations that they orchestrated a scheme to divert public funds meant for the National Buffer Stock Company and the School Feeding Programme for their personal benefit.

The case is being closely monitored due to the former CEO’s role in managing a key government agency responsible for supporting food supply initiatives, including the National Buffer Stock Programme.
