‘No prosecution will ever be possible’ if stay in Hanan Aludiba case stands – Srem-Sai
Deputy Attorney-General Dr Justice Srem-Sai has warned that allowing the Court of Appeal’s decision to suspend the trial of Hanan Aludiba and his wife, Faiza Seidu, to stand could make it easier for criminal proceedings to be halted over objections to charges.
The Attorney-General has taken the unusual step of appealing to the Supreme Court to overturn a decision allowing the criminal trial of former NAFCO CEO Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba to continue. The ruling from the Court of Appeal in October 2026 was challenged by the prosecution, arguing that the court erred in granting a stay of proceedings pending the determination of an appeal.
The Deputy Attorney-General is seeking a Supreme Court ruling that sets aside the October decision and allows the criminal proceedings to resume. This appeal will determine whether the trial can proceed while the legal challenge is ongoing. The Court of Appeal had previously granted the defense's request to halt the High Court trial, ruling that the charge sheet, which serves as the foundation for the prosecution's case, needed to be addressed before the trial could proceed.
