The New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the Minority in Parliament are expected to gather at the offices of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) today, Monday, July 7, 2025, to protest the continued detention of Abdul-Wahab Hanan, the former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO).
The NPP says EOCO is violating Hanan’s human rights, arguing that the conditions for his bail have already been fulfilled.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s Newsroom on Sunday, NPP National Youth Organiser Salam Mustapha criticised EOCO’s handling of the matter and urged the agency to allow the legal process to take its course.
“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,” Mustapha said.
He also voiced frustration with EOCO’s silence and described Hanan’s continued detention as punitive, despite a valuation report showing the bail conditions had been exceeded.
“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.”
Hanan was arrested by EOCO on June 25, along with his wife, in connection with alleged financial crimes. His wife has since been granted bail of GH¢30 million. Hanan remains in custody, pending the satisfaction of a GH¢60 million bail condition.
Their arrest was part of a broader investigation into suspected economic crimes at NAFCO. EOCO also detained a third, unidentified individual believed to be linked to the case during coordinated operations in Accra and Tamale.
