Former NAFCO CEO's lawyers move to cite AG for contempt over airport arrest
Hanan Abdul-Wahab's lawyers announced plans to file contempt proceedings against the Attorney-General, the Deputy Attorney-General, and the Director of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), accusing them of deliberately breaching a High Court order by orchestrating their client's arrest at the Accra International Airport despite the court having approved his travel. The legal team maintains that no valid court order freezing Abdul-Wahab's bank accounts existed at the time of his arrest.
In a statement issued on Sunday, July 5, counsel for Abdul-Wahab, Godfred Yeboah Dame, described as "false" claims made by Deputy Attorney-General Dr Srem Sai in a Facebook post on July 4, 2026, which sought to justify the arrest. The High Court in Accra, presided over by Justice Achibonga, granted Abdul-Wahab permission on June 29 to travel to the United Kingdom from July 4 to July 12 for a scheduled medical appointment. The application was approved after both the defence and prosecution, including Dr Srem Sai, presented their arguments.
