Our lawyers are unwell – former NAFCo CEO and wife tell Court in GHc62.6M criminal trial

He told the court that counsel for the first accused at the last sitting did not cite ill-health as his reason for not attending court, but rather argued that the court cannot conduct trial during the legal vacation and that he would not make himself available.

Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, the first accused person (A1), and Faiza Seidu, the second accused person (A2), made the assertion separately when the case was called before Justice Francis Apangabonu Achibonga, a Justice of the Court of Appeal sitting with additional responsibility as a High Court judge.

The case has been adjourned to August 17, 2026, for counsel for A1 to be present and address the court on the effect of the pending application at the Court of Appeal.
