ACCRA, Oct 22 (The African Portal) – The former Chief Executive Officer of Ghana’s National Food and Buffer Stock Company, Abdul-Wahab Hanan Aludiba, has denied any involvement in an alleged corruption scandal linked to the company, following claims made by the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine.
At the Government Accountability Series held in Accra, Dr Ayine said that more than GH¢40 million had allegedly been transferred through Sawtina Enterprise to several individuals and entities including Hanan, in what investigators suspect to be a money laundering scheme connected to his tenure at the company.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, Hanan described the Attorney-General’s claims as false and damaging to his reputation, insisting he has no involvement in any wrongdoing.
“My attention has been drawn to recent statements made by the Honourable Attorney-General during a press engagement, in which my name was mentioned in connection with allegations of corruption,” he said.
“I wish to state, respectfully, that these claims are untrue and do not reflect the facts of the matter.”
He described the allegations as “deeply unfortunate”, stressing that he has no connection to the transactions currently under investigation.
Hanan added that he had engaged legal counsel to review the matter and advise on the next steps to protect his integrity.
“I look forward to the opportunity to present my side and to have my day in court, where I am confident that the truth will be made clear,” he said.
