Accra Court Delays Hanan Abdul-Wahab's Trial Until October 2026 Over Seized Assets

An Accra High Court has pushed the criminal trial of Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, former NAFCO CEO, and his wife Faiza Seidu Wuni to October 7, 2026. This delay comes after their defence team formally requested to access mobile phones and other personal items that were confiscated by state authorities. The court accepted the application to revisit the detention of these specific properties pending legal review. Notably, the adjournment order solely addresses the evidentiary status of seized electronics and household goods, not the core charges against the couple. Proceedings now return to the same courtroom for continuation of the case timeline originally set earlier this year. Meanwhile, prosecutors maintain custody of the broader evidence package while the defence prepares arguments about rightful property return. Furthermore, the next hearing represents a procedural step rather than a verdict, focusing strictly on logistical access issues. That said, lawyers for both accused individuals confirmed they will appear personally when the matter resumes in October.
