We've been denied access to re-arrested Buffer Stock ex-CEO and wife - Lawyers
Abdul-Wahab Hanan and Faiza Sayyid Wuni were re-arrested by officials of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) shortly after the Office of the Attorney General dropped all charges against them. The charges were dropped due to "fresh evidence."
Lawyers of Abdul-Wahab Hanan and Faiza Sayyid Wuni say they have been denied access to their clients for more than 24 hours after the re-arrest. According to the lawyers, led by former Attorney General Godfred Yeboah-Dame, junior colleagues at EOCO have not been given access to them as of about 11 o'clock. Abdul Wahab Hanan reportedly fell ill during the process and was rushed for medical attention before being returned to EOCO custody.
Efforts are ongoing to engage the authorities. Godfred Yeboah-Dame stated, "This is not a healthy practice. If the Republic has a genuine case against a person, they ought to abide by due process and bring the person before court with all the rights guaranteed under the Constitution of Ghana, and let the case proceed."
