Show the evidence - Dame dares Deputy AG over frozen bank account allegation in Hannan arrest
Godfred Yeboah Dame challenged Deputy Attorney-General Dr Srem Sai on Sunday, July 5, to produce evidence that Hanan Abdul-Wahab attempted to withdraw money from a frozen bank account. Dame, counsel for Abdul-Wahab, insists the allegation is false and was used to justify what he describes as an unlawful arrest. He stated, "The allegation by the Deputy Attorney-General that our client attempted 'to use false means to empty his frozen bank account with Republic Bank …' is simply untrue. We challenge him to produce evidence of a withdrawal of any sum by our client from any of his bank accounts since the date of the court order."
Dame accused the Deputy Attorney-General of making misleading claims in a Facebook post intended to defend Abdul-Wahab's arrest at the airport after a High Court had granted him permission to travel to the United Kingdom. The High Court, presided over by Justice Achibonga, granted Abdul-Wahab permission to travel from July 4 to July 12, 2026, to attend an appointment with his optician after hearing arguments from both parties. Dame argued that this order was consistent with previous decisions allowing accused persons facing criminal trials to travel abroad while on bail.
