Accra, July 05, GNA – Law enforcement officers have arrested Mr Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, former CEO of National Buffer Stock Company Limited, at the Accra International Airport, according to information by the Attorney-General’s Office.
Mr Aludiba is currently standing trial before the High Court on charges of stealing and causing financial loss to the Republic.
According to Dr Justice Srem-Sai, Deputy Attorney-General, the trial court had earlier granted Mr Aludiba leave to travel to the United Kingdom for a few days.
The Office, however, alleged that Mr Aludiba attempted on Thursday to use false means to access and empty his frozen bank account held at Republic Bank.
It said the alleged attempt led to his arrest by law enforcement officers at the airport.
The Attorney-General’s Office further indicated that the Attorney-General would, on Monday July 6, apply to the trial High Court for a review of the order granting Mr Aludiba permission to travel outside the country.
No further details were provided on the circumstances surrounding the alleged attempt to access the frozen account.
