Former Buffer Stock CEO Denies Corruption Allegations, Vows to Clear His Name, Citing Legal Advice: Abdul-Wahab Aludiba

Abdul-Wahab Hanan Aludiba, the former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food and Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO), has strongly denied corruption allegations leveled against him by the Attorney General. He described the accusations as “false” and “deeply regrettable.”

The Attorney General, in a press briefing on Wednesday, outlined findings from an Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) investigation that purportedly linked Aludiba to luxury properties and suspicious bank transactions allegedly financed through illicit means.

In response, Aludiba issued a statement on social media, asserting his innocence and stating that he has instructed his legal team to take necessary steps to protect his reputation. “I wish to state, respectfully, that these claims are untrue and do not reflect the facts of the matter. I have no involvement in the issues being referred to, and I find the comments deeply unfortunate,” Aludiba said.

He added that his legal team is reviewing the situation and will consider appropriate legal action to clear his name through due 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,” he stated.

Aludiba was previously arrested by EOCO on June 25, 2025, along with his wife, concerning allegations of significant financial impropriety during his time at NAFCO. He was detained for two weeks before being released on bail of GH¢60 million with two sureties.

The former NAFCO CEO reiterated his commitment to ethical conduct, stating that he has always been guided by honesty, transparency, and integrity throughout his public service.
