The Attorney-General and Minister for Justice has filed multiple criminal charges against Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food and Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO), and four others, over alleged acts of stealing, money laundering, and causing financial loss to the state.<\/p>\n

According to court documents filed at the High Court in Accra, the accused persons \u2014 Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, Faiza Seidu Wuni, Richard Sam-Asante (currently at large), The Aludiba Foundation, and Energy Partners Limited \u2014 are facing a total of 21 counts.<\/p>\n

The offences include stealing, money laundering, defrauding by false pretences, conspiracy, and the intentional dissipation of public funds, all contrary to provisions of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29) and the Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2020 (Act 1044).<\/p>\n

Per the charge sheet, Mr Abdul-Wahab, while serving as CEO of NAFCO between February 2017 and February 2025, is alleged to have diverted over GH\u00a250.8 million from the company\u2019s funds, purportedly paid to a supplier, Sawtina Enterprise.<\/p>\n

He is further alleged to have fraudulently transferred an additional GH\u00a25.49 million to Aludiba Enterprise, a business he is said to personally own, under the guise of supplying foodstuffs to the state company.<\/p>\n

His co-accused, Faiza Seidu Wuni, is alleged to have laundered over GH\u00a213.2 million through her company, Fa-Hausa Ventures, and to have caused a financial loss of GH\u00a24.4 million through transactions with NAFCO under the business name Alqarni Enterprise.<\/p>\n

The charge sheet also implicates The Aludiba Foundation and Energy Partners Limited, both linked to Hanan Abdul-Wahab, for their alleged involvement in laundering and receiving proceeds from the unlawful transactions.<\/p>\n

The Attorney-General\u2019s Office says the alleged offences resulted in significant financial losses to the Republic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
