A former Attorney-General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has criticised the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over the re-arrest and detention of former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food and Buffer Stock Company, Abdul-Wahab Hanan Aludiba, and his wife, Faiza Seidu Wuni.
In a statement issued on May 6, 2026, he described the actions of EOCO as “extra judicial harassment” and called for the immediate release of the couple.
According to the statement, the couple was arrested by EOCO on May 5, 2026, after charges against them and three others in an ongoing Buffer Stock case were withdrawn by the Attorney-General.
The statement claimed that during the trial, defence lawyers raised objections against some aspects of the prosecution’s case during a Case Management Conference, and the court upheld those objections.
It further alleged that the Attorney-General later attempted to introduce fresh witness statements without seeking permission from the court, but another objection by defence counsel was also upheld.
Following that development, the Attorney-General reportedly withdrew all charges against the accused persons.
The statement argued that EOCO should have conducted further investigations before taking any new action against the accused persons.
However, it alleged that the anti-corruption agency quickly re-arrested Mr. Aludiba and his wife for offences that had not been disclosed even to their legal team.
The statement also claimed that the couple had been denied bail despite previously being granted bail by the court before the charges were withdrawn.
It further alleged that lawyers for Mr. Aludiba were denied access to him while they waited at EOCO’s office for several hours on Tuesday.
The former Attorney-General accused the government, EOCO, and the Attorney-General of using law enforcement processes to harass opposition figures instead of following due process.
He criticised EOCO Executive Director, Raymond Archer, urging him to ensure that the institution operates within the law and respects the rights of citizens.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
