The Greenwich Meridian Network has extended humanitarian support to inmates of the James Camp Prison at Roman Ridge in Accra as part of its efforts to promote dignity and social inclusion among vulnerable groups.
The outreach took place on Saturday, December 13, 2025, when members of the volunteer based group spent the day providing welfare services and donating essential items to the facility.
During the visit, inmates received free haircut services, medical screening, and clinical psychological support from professionals within the Network.
The group also provided meals throughout the day, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The food served included kenkey, fufu, ice cream, pastries, mocktails, local drinks, burgers, kebabs, and other refreshments.
In addition to the services, the Network donated items to support the prison’s daily operations.
These included a multipurpose plough, a vegetable grinder, a corn mill, bags of sugar, maize, and beans, assorted canned foods, and sachet water.
Prison officers described the donation as timely, explaining that the plough would boost farming activities within the prison, while the corn mill would replace a faulty one that had forced the prison to mill maize outside the facility.
The visit also featured cultural performances by the inmates, who entertained the guests with dance routines and rap battles, highlighting their creativity and talents.
Officers at the James Camp Prison expressed appreciation to the Network for the support, noting that it would help the facility improve food production and work towards self sufficiency.
The Greenwich Meridian Network, formerly known as Dr. Osa and Friends, has carried out community outreach activities across the country over the past five years.
The group has supported orphanage homes including Remar Orphanage Home in Tema and Shekinah Orphanage Home in Dawa with medical screening, dental care, eye check ups, and motivational sessions involving public figures.
One of its recent activities, dubbed Spa Day with the Orphans, was held at the Motherly Love Foundation in Kwabenya.
The event gave children the opportunity to enjoy spa services such as massages, facials, pedicures, and manicures, alongside meals provided by local food vendors.
As part of its long term plans, the Network is expanding into areas such as water sanitation and hygiene initiatives, vocational training for young people, the establishment of a community clinic, and the creation of a food bank to support families affected by disasters.
It also plans to roll out women and girls empowerment programmes and community based medical outreach services.
Members of the public who wish to support or volunteer with the Greenwich Meridian Network can find more information on its official website.
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.
