  "account": "A High Court in Accra has put off the start of the trial against former National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) CEO Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba and his wife, Faiza Seidu Wuni. The court is awaiting a decision on a request to release some of the accused persons' mobile phones and personal effects. The prosecution was set to present its first witness on Tuesday in the case involving the theft and financial loss of GH¢62.6 million to the state. Both defendants have pleaded not guilty to charges including fraud by false pretenses, willful financial loss, theft, misuse of public office for profit, intentional dissipation of public funds, and money laundering. Former Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame is representing Mr. Aludiba and has sought the court's order to release the seized mobile phones and other personal effects, claiming they contain crucial information for the trial. The court must first rule on the request before it can proceed with the trial, which is now set to resume on October 7.",
