The NPP and the Minority in Parliament will today, Monday, July 7, 2025, converge at the precincts of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over the detention of Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, the former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO).
The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) National Youth Organiser, Salam Mustapha, who made the disclosure on Channel One TV Sunday, July 7, 2025, indicated that the EOCO is violating the rights of Aludiba, despite meeting his conditions for bail.
According to Mustapha, the best EOCO could do was to seek justice at the law courts rather than keeping the former NAFCO CEO in custody in breach of his human rights.
“If Hannan has done something wrong, put him before a court of law and let him have his day. We will go to the EOCO office together with some MPs, party sympathisers, and executives, and ask why. We want to know why he is still being kept in the station when the conditions that you put on him have been met,” he stated.
Mustapha further said that Mr. Aludiba’s continuous detention could be politically motivated following the EOCO officials failure to collaborate with party executives to get him bail despite meeting his conditions.
“The evaluation report that we have far exceeds those bill conditions. When everything was finished, we were calling Raymond Archer, his deputies, to come and just go through and grant the young man bail to go home, none of them picked their phone calls. So, he has been left there as punishment for exactly what we do not know.”
EOCO picked up Hanan and his wife on Wednesday, June 25, 2025 over alleged financial crimes. His wife has since been granted a GH¢30 million bail whilst the husband is still in custody, yet to fully satisfy his GH¢60 million bail.
The arrest, part of a wider investigation into suspected economic crimes at NAFCO, was carried out simultaneously in Accra and Tamale, and also led to the apprehension of a third, unidentified individual believed to be connected to the case.
