Philanthropist supports La District Police Command
A Philanthropist and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of RAD Kitchen, Mr Raymond Addai-Danquah, has handed over a newly constructed office space to the La District Police Command to enhance its operations.
This follows a request from the command to Mr Addai-Danquah some months ago, to which the native of La responded positively.
He also conducted extensive renovations on the facilities, including painting the entire station and bungalows, replacing window nets and fixing of an air conditioner for the station officer’s office.
Additionally, he provided the station with new police barricades and police reflective vests to enhance their patrols for the upcoming La Homowo festive season and beyond.
Handing over the project last Sunday, Mr Addai-Danquah said the gesture was to show appreciation to the service for working tirelessly to maintain peace and order in the community.
“For me, this is a response to the call from police and public collaboration for the common goal of fighting crime and securing lives and property; this is something the RAD Group of Companies stands for.”
The La District Police Commander, ASP Patience Klomegah, on behalf of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Accra Regional Police Commander, Cantonments Divisional Commander, and the La District Command, expressed gratitude for the gesture.
She acknowledged the importance of Mr Addai-Danquah’s contributions to the Command, stating that it is a testament of faith in the work of the police in the community, for which the station is grateful and would spur them to work extra hard to safeguard lives and property.
“This generous gesture will significantly enhance our work conditions, and we promise to make the best use of the items to serve the community even better,” she added

Lawyers for former NAFCO Chief Executive Officer, Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, say they will file an appeal despite a High Court directive for the Attorney General to amend two counts of defrauding by false pretences in the ongoing case.
The court on Wednesday ordered the AG to amend the two charges in the case involving the former NAFCO CEO and co-accused, Faiza Seidu Wuni.
Reacting to the ruling, counsel for Hanan Aludiba, Godfred Yeboah Dame, expressed dissatisfaction with the decision.
“Even though they’ve been ordered to amend some of the charges, we’ll still file an appeal. I think the decision was not so sound,” he said.
The case is part of ongoing prosecutions linked to alleged financial irregularities at the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO).
The High Court’s directive means the prosecution will have to revise aspects of the charge sheet before the trial proceeds further.
Background
Counsel for former NAFCO CEO Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, led by Godfred Yeboah Dame, filed an application seeking to have the charges against their client dismissed.
They contend the charges are fundamentally flawed and violate his right to a fair trial.
The State, represented by Deputy Attorney General Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, opposed the application, maintaining that the charges are valid and that the accused ought to face trial.
Lawyers for Hanan’s wife, Faiza Seidu Wuni, led by Augustine Obour, who would also benefit if the application succeeded, yielded their time to the lead counsel for the first accused.

High Court rejects dismissal request in NAFCO Case, orders prosecution to amend 2 of 16 Charges Against former CEO
The High Court has declined a request by lead counsel for former National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) Chief Executive Officer, Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, to dismiss charges against him, but has directed the Attorney General to amend two of the 16 counts filed against him.
Presiding Judge, Justice Francis Apangabonu Achibonga, a Justice of the Court of Appeal sitting with additional responsibility as a High Court judge, ruled today that while the prosecution must revise Counts 9 and 14, the trial will proceed on all charges.
This means the trial of the couple will continue on a combined 20 counts.
Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba is facing 16 counts, while his wife, Faiza Seidu Wuni, is facing 4 counts. Both pleaded not guilty on May 18, 2026 and are currently on bail.
Godfred Yeboah Dame, former Attorney General and lead counsel for the first accused, had argued for the dismissal of the charges. Reacting after the ruling, he said the decision was not sound and indicated plans to file an appeal.
“Even though they’ve been ordered to amend some of the charges, we’ll still file an appeal. I think the decision was not so sound,” he stated.
Augustines Obuor is lead counsel for the second accused, Faiza Seidu Wuni, whiles the Republic was represented by Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, Deputy Attorney General.
The case relates to alleged financial irregularities at NAFCO and is being closely watched as part of government’s efforts to hold public officials accountable.
The court has directed the prosecution to effect the amendments to Counts 9 and 14 before the trial proceeds further.
