Hanan arrest based on frozen bank account claim is ‘comical’ — Godfred Dame

Former Attorney General and lawyer for Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has described as “comical” the circumstances surrounding the arrest of the former National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) Chief Executive Officer over claims that he attempted to withdraw funds from a frozen bank account.

Deputy Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr Justice Srem Sai, had earlier disclosed that Mr Aludiba was arrested at the Accra International Airport on Saturday night after investigators received information that he had allegedly attempted to withdraw funds from a frozen bank account before travelling to the United Kingdom.

Mr Dame further criticised the Attorney-General’s handling of the matter, describing it as an abuse of legal process and an affront to the rights of an accused person.
