Attorney-General withdraws charges against former Buffer Stock CEO and wife
Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food and Buffer Stock Company Limited, and his wife had criminal charges withdrawn against them on Tuesday, May 5, leading to their discharge by the court in the ongoing GH¢78 million alleged loss case. Deputy Attorney-General Dr Justice Srem-Sai told the court that the prosecution had opted to discontinue proceedings against the two accused persons. Following the announcement, the court struck out the charges against Mr. Aludiba and his wife, Faiza Seidu Wuni, effectively discharging them from the case.
Dr. Srem-Sai said the decision was taken after the emergence of fresh evidence, stating, "The move was intended to ensure that each of the accused persons is given a fair and speedy trial in accordance with the Constitution." The two had previously pleaded not guilty to all charges. At earlier proceedings, the prosecution had filed witness statements on April 24, 2026, but sought to revert to earlier statements filed in December 2025. Defence lawyers challenged the legality of an Assistant Staff Officer from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) participation in the prosecution team.
Presiding judge Justice Achibonga ordered the temporary removal of the EOCO officer from the proceedings and directed the Attorney-General's Department to provide proof of proper authorisation. The case is expected to continue for the remaining accused persons as the prosecution adjusts its strategy.
