Economic and Organised Crime Office agents arrested Abdul Hannan Wahab during raids conducted across two cities. Wahab previously served as the top executive at the National Food Buffer Stock Company. Officers also detained a second person whose name has not been made public. Investigators believe this person has connections to the case. The arrests happened at the same time in both Accra and Tamale.
The charges relate to suspected money problems and buying mistakes at the government food agency. Wahab led the organization when these issues allegedly occurred. Officials suspect he mishandled public funds during his time there. The food company distributes essential supplies across Ghana. Prosecutors claim procurement rules were broken under his leadership.
Both suspects remain locked up and are helping police with their investigation. The Economic and Organised Crime Office has not issued any public statements about the case. Sources familiar with the matter confirmed the arrests to reporters. The detained individuals are answering questions from investigators. Officials are building their case against both suspects.
The operation represents part of a larger government effort to fight corruption. The Economic and Organised Crime Office targets public officials suspected of stealing state money. Agents want to make sure government workers handle taxpayer funds properly. The crackdown aims to restore trust in how officials manage public resources. Prosecutors hope these arrests will deter other officials from committing similar crimes.
