The former head of Ghana’s National Food and Buffer Stock Company, Abdul-Wahab Hanan Aludiba, is forcefully denying allegations of corruption and money laundering linked to his time in office, calling the claims by the Attorney General “untrue” and “deeply damaging.”

In a sharply worded statement released Wednesday, Hanan responded to revelations made by Ghana’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, who earlier this week accused him of being involved in the suspicious transfer of over GH¢40 million (roughly $3.2 million USD) through a private entity, Sawtina Enterprise. According to the AG, the funds were funneled to multiple individuals and entities in what investigators now suspect may be a coordinated money laundering scheme.

Hanan flatly rejected the allegations.

“These claims are untrue and do not reflect the facts of the matter,” he said, insisting he had no involvement in any misconduct during his tenure. “It is deeply unfortunate that my name has been dragged into this.”

The accusations were made during the Government Accountability Series in Accra — part of an effort by the current administration to crack down on corruption in public institutions. But Hanan says the Attorney General’s public remarks have already caused harm to his reputation, and he’s not taking it lightly.

The former CEO said he has hired legal counsel and is weighing his options. “I look forward to the opportunity to present my side and to have my day in court,” he stated. “I am confident that the truth will be made clear.”

While the Attorney General has not announced any formal charges yet, the case has reignited conversations around transparency and accountability within the food security agency, which has already faced criticism over payment delays to suppliers and operational inefficiencies.

For now, Hanan maintains he’s done nothing wrong — and he’s ready to prove it.
