Court defers Hanan trial over seized mobile phones

The Accra High Court has adjourned the trial of former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Food and Buffer Stock Company Limited (NAFCO), Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, and his wife, Faiza Seidu Wuni, to October 7, 2026, following an application by the defence for the release of mobile phones and other properties seized from the accused persons.

The court held that the prosecution could not commence its case by calling its witness without first determining the application seeking the release of the phones and other properties of the first accused.

The court, presided over by Justice Francis Apangabuno Achibonga, said it would first determine the application seeking the release of the properties before the substantive trial could commence.
