Here's why AG withdrew charges in Buffer Stock case

The Deputy Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Justice Srem-Sai, has explained why the Office of the Attorney General has withdrawn all charges against the accused persons in the Buffer Stock case.

According to him, in a Facebook post on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, the withdrawal followed the discovery of fresh evidence against all the accused persons, including Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba and his wife.

According to Srem-Sai, the move is to allow for a fair and speedy trial in line with the Constitution.

“Following the discovery of fresh evidence, we have, a while ago, withdrawn from the prosecution of all the Accused Persons in the case of THE REPUBLIC v HANAN ABDUL-WAHAB ALUDIBA and 4 OTHERS.

“This is to afford each of the Accused Persons a fair and a more speedy trial in accordance with the Constitution,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, proceedings are continuing in a separate case involving Kwabena Adu-Boahene and others.

Srem-Sai further indicated that a key prosecution witness will resume testimony later in the day during court proceedings.

“Later this afternoon, the last-but-one prosecution witness in the case of THE REPUBLIC v KWABENA ADU-BOAHENE & OTHERS will continue her testimony,” he noted.

The witness, a former bank relationship manager who later worked with Adu-Boahene and his wife, is expected to give details on how the funds involved in the case were obtained and used.
