  "summary": "The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has returned £6,700, GH¢2,750, laptops, and mobile phones seized from former NAFCO CEO Alhaji Abdul-Wahab Hanan Aludiba, who is standing trial for allegedly causing GH¢78 million financial loss to the state. Hanan was granted permission by the High Court in Accra to travel to the UK for medical reasons and had his items returned before his application to release them could be heard. The prosecution urged the court to allow proceedings to continue, but the case was adjourned to October 20. Hanan and his wife, along with three others, face charges including conspiracy, stealing, and causing financial loss to the state. They have pleaded not guilty to 24 counts.",
