Hanan Abdul-Wahab, wife’s case adjourned to August 17 after lawyers failed to appear in court

The High Court in Accra has adjourned the criminal case involving former National Food and Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) Chief Executive Officer Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba and his wife, Faiza Seidu Wuni, to August 17, 2026, after lawyers for both accused persons failed to appear.

Hanan Abdul-Wahab, wife’s case adjourned to August 17 after lawyers failed to appear in court

Former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta is scheduled to appear in court on August 27, 2026, as his criminal trial resumes. He faces 28 counts of corruption and corruption-related offenses following an investigation into revenue-assurance contracts between SML and the Ghana Revenue Authority. The charges stem from the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s investigation and were initially brought against 78 individuals in November 2025.

The prosecution claims that Ofori-Atta and others participated in corrupt acts connected to the SML–GRA revenue-assurance arrangements. However, questions remain about whether this is a political witch-hunt, as well as whether the trial will be fair and transparent.
