Accra: The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is set to file new charges against former National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) Chief Executive Officer, Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, after discovering fresh evidence related to the alleged theft and laundering of over GHS78 million.
According to Ghana Web, EOCO Executive Director Raymond Archer revealed that the agency has submitted a comprehensive investigative report to the Attorney General. Archer expects that the case will return to court as early as next week, marking a significant development in the ongoing investigation.
"The new evidence is being forwarded to the Attorney General based on a report that we have compiled, and we will continue the interrogation of Hanan," Archer stated during an interview with Joy News on Saturday, May 9, 2026. He clarified that the withdrawal of the earlier case against Aludiba and four other accused individuals was merely procedural, assuring that the matter is far from being abandoned.
Prosecutors had previously withdrawn all charges against Aludiba, his wife Faiza Wuni, and three other accused persons on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, effectively concluding the initial proceedings. Nonetheless, Archer emphasized that EOCO's investigation remains active as they seek to fortify the case against the former NAFCO chief executive.
The accused individuals were initially on trial for allegations of misappropriation and laundering of more than GHS78 million. The case has garnered significant public interest due to the magnitude of the alleged financial losses and the high-profile nature of the individuals implicated.
