Former NAFCO CEO granted bail as AG moves to block UK medical trip
Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, the former CEO of the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) and first accused in the Buffer Stock case, was granted bail by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) following his arrest. The Attorney-General has filed an application at the High Court seeking to overturn an earlier order that allowed Mr. Aludiba to travel to the United Kingdom for specialist medical treatment. This application seeks to set aside the court's June 29 order permitting Mr. Aludiba to travel outside the jurisdiction.
The application is based on fresh developments suggesting that Mr. Aludiba allegedly attempted to access funds that had been frozen. The prosecution argues that the attempted withdrawal was in breach of Section 37 of the Economic and Organised Crime Office Act, 2010 (Act 804), which prohibits transactions involving property or funds subject to a freezing order. The Attorney-General's Office stated that these material facts, which were not before the Court when the travel order was made, may materially influence the Court's decision.
