EOCO returns Hanan’s £6,700, GH¢2,750 and devices after defence challenge

The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has returned £6,700, GH¢2,750, two laptop computers, and at least six mobile phones seized from former Ghana Buffer Stock Company CEO Hanan Abdul Wahab Hanan, his wife Hajia Faiza Wuni, and their driver. The items were held in connection with a financial crimes case involving allegations of offences against the state.

The return of the items follows a petition by lawyers for Mr Hanan, Messrs Dame & Partners, who argued that the seizure of the property had been done without legal justification.
