Tamale High Court convicts former NDA boss Sumaila Abdul-Rahman and three others over IPEP procurement breaches

Despite securing convictions on counts spanning conspiracy, influencing procurement processes, and corruption-related infractions, the presiding judge opted against handing down custodial prison sentences. In delivering the verdict, the court noted several compelling mitigating factors. Notably, the OSP’s proactive intervention had successfully blocked payouts,ensuring that the state suffered zero financial loss. Additionally, the advanced age of two of the key defendants heavily influenced the court’s leniency.
