NPP National Youth Organiser Salam Mustapha has revealed that the NPP and the minority in parliament will storm the offices of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to protest the continued detention of the former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO), Abdul-Wahab Hanan.
According to Salam Mustapha, if Abdul-Wahab Hanan has committed a crime, EOCO must put him before a court.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s Newsroom on Sunday, NPP National Youth Organiser Salam Mustapha stated, “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.”
“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”, he added.
Abdul Hannan Wahab was arrested by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
According to reports, Abdul Hannan Wahab has been arrested in connection with alleged financial and procurement-related infractions.
The information gathered suggests the EOCO operation was simultaneously carried out in Accra and Tamale.
An unidentified individual believed to be linked to the ongoing investigation into suspected economic crimes at NAFCO has also been arrested.
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.
The minority in Parliament has stated that the bail conditions for the former CEO of the National Food Buffer Stock, Abdul Hannan Wahab and his wife are punitive and excessive.
Abdul Hannan Wahab remains in custody, yet to fully satisfy the conditions of his GH¢60 million bail.
