Former Buffer Stock CEO, wife re-arrested after being discharged in GH¢78M case
Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food and Buffer Stock Company Limited, and his wife, Faiza Seidu Wuni, were discharged by the court on Tuesday, May 5, after the Deputy Attorney-General, Dr Justice Srem-Sai, withdrew charges against them. The court subsequently struck out the charges as withdrawn. The two had pleaded not guilty to all charges related to their alleged involvement in the purchase and supply of foodstuffs under the national school feeding programme.
The accused persons, along with companies linked to them, were on trial for allegedly causing financial loss to the state to the tune of GH¢78 million. At the previous sitting, Principal State Attorney, Esi Dentah Yankah, had told the court that the prosecution had filed two witness statements on April 24, 2026, but sought to substitute them with earlier statements filed on December 18, 2025. Former Attorney-General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, argued that the prosecution had breached procedural rules by filing new witness statements without first seeking leave of the court. Mr Dame contended that "from the process filed it cannot be determined whether it is an amendment to the already filed witness statements or an addition or indeed an entirely new one. This is totally out of order, it is not known to the rules before you." Justice Francis Achibonga agreed with the defence and struck out the two witness statements for failing to comply with procedural requirements.
Shortly after their discharge, Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba and Faiza Seidu Wuni were re-arrested.
