Former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food and Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO), Hanan Abdul-Wahab, and his wife, Faiza Seidu Wuni, are facing fresh criminal charges following new legal action initiated by the Office of the Attorney General and Ministry of Justice.
According to court documents filed at the High Court in Accra on May 15, 2026, the couple has been charged with 20 counts relating to alleged financial impropriety during Mr. Abdul-Wahab’s tenure at the state food management agency.
The charges include stealing, defrauding by false pretenses, abuse of public office for profit, and money laundering.
The latest development comes shortly after the couple was re-arrested by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), following their discharge in an earlier case.
Prosecutors allege that Mr. Abdul-Wahab fraudulently obtained GH¢734,400 from NAFCO in 2017 under the pretext of rent payments said to cover a two-year period from May 2017 to May 2019.
According to the prosecution, the payments were processed under questionable circumstances as part of a broader scheme to unlawfully benefit from public funds while occupying a senior public office. The prosecution also claims the accused persons used various means to conceal the origins of the funds, leading to additional money laundering charges.
