Chief-Executive-of-National-Food-Buffer-Stock-Company-NAFCO-Mr.-Hanan-Abdul-Wahab
The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has finally released former National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) CEO, Abdul‑Wahab Hannan was from detention after spending two weeks in custody.
This comes after he met bail conditions set at GH¢50 million with two sureties, while his wife previously secured bail of GH¢30 million.
Mr Hannan and his wife were arrested on June 25 amid allegations of financial impropriety, including tax evasion, money laundering, and causing financial loss to the state.
Though EOCO secured a High Court judgment for bail, Mr Hannan remained detained until this week, reportedly due to delays in processing sureties .
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Minority in Parliament have been highly critical of the bail terms.
Deputy Minority Leader Patricia Appiagyei described them as “punitive and excessive,” warning they risk undermining the dignity of the accused.
Earlier, the party mobilised supporters outside EOCO’s offices in protest, urging the agency to either charge Mr Hannan formally or release him immediately.
Upon his release, Mr Hannan was greeted by family members outside the EOCO complex.
