Abdul-Wahab Hannan, the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Food Buffer Stock Company, has finally been released from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
Abdul Hannan Wahab was arrested by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) and has since been in detention for two weeks.
According to reports, Abdul Hannan Wahab was arrested on June 25 along with his wife in connection with alleged financial and procurement-related infractions.
The information gathered suggests the EOCO operation was simultaneously carried out in Accra and Tamale.
The suspects picked up are set to assist EOCO with investigations.
The investigation is expected to expose further details surrounding the alleged infractions that may have occurred during Abdul Hannan Wahab’s tenure at the National Food Buffer Stock.
EOCO placed a GH¢50 million bail condition for Wahab’s release and GH¢30 million for his wife.
His wife was released last week on a GH¢30 million bail, but Hannan remained in EOCO custody regardless of reports that he had met the bail conditions.
Hannan was finally released today, Tuesday, July 8, 2025 and was greeted by family members who had been waiting outside EOCO’s headquarters.
