Hanan granted bail as AG moves to block UK medical trip over frozen funds

The Attorney-General has filed an application at the High Court seeking to overturn an earlier order that allowed Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, the first accused person in the Buffer Stock case, to travel to the United Kingdom for specialist medical treatment, citing fresh developments over an alleged attempt to access frozen funds.“It is the position of the Attorney-General that these material facts, which were not before the Court when the travel order was made, may materially influence the Court’s decision regarding its order granting leave for the first accused to travel outside the jurisdiction,” the statement said.

The Attorney-General’s Office said the alleged attempt occurred shortly before Mr Aludiba was due to leave Ghana for the UK, raising concerns over compliance with existing court orders, the integrity of the ongoing criminal proceedings, and the possibility that the accused may not return to stand trial if allowed to travel.
