Former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food and Buffer Stock Company, Hanan Abdul-Wahab, has denied allegations made by the Attorney General linking him to corruption and financial misconduct during his tenure.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, Mr. Abdul-Wahab described the claims as “untrue and deeply unfortunate,” insisting that he has no involvement in the issues referenced by the Attorney General during his recent press engagement.
“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.”
Mr. Abdul-Wahab added that he has instructed his legal team to review the situation and advise on the appropriate steps to protect his reputation. He stressed that he remains confident that the truth will emerge through due legal process.
“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,” the statement read.

The former CEO reiterated his commitment to the values that guided his public service. “I remain fully committed to the principles of honesty, transparency, and integrity that have guided my work throughout my career,” he noted.
The Attorney General, at a press briefing in Accra, had earlier announced that Mr. Abdul-Wahab and his wife would face prosecution for allegedly diverting over GHS78 million from the Buffer Stock Company through a network of shell companies.
Legal analysts say Mr. Abdul-Wahab’s response sets the stage for what could be a high-profile court battle as the state prepares to file formal charges by Friday, October 24, 2025.
