Hanan’s lawyers to pursue contempt action against AG, Deputy AG and NIB boss

Former Attorney-General and counsel for former National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) Chief Executive Officer, Hanan Abdul-Wahab, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has rejected claims by the Attorney-General’s Office that his client attempted to access funds in a frozen bank account, insisting that no valid court order existed to freeze the account at the time of his arrest.

Dame and his legal team have since announced plans to initiate contempt proceedings against the Attorney-General, the Deputy Attorney-General and the Director-General of the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), arguing that Abdul-Wahab’s arrest constituted a violation of a valid court order.

The comments add to the growing dispute between Abdul-Wahab’s legal team and the Attorney-General’s Office following his arrest on July 4, despite a High Court order granting him permission to travel to the United Kingdom for a medical appointment.
