The New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the Minority in Parliament will today, Monday, July 7, 2025, converge at the offices of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to protest the continued detention of the former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO), Abdul-Wahab Hanan.
The party has accused EOCO of violating his human rights, insisting that the conditions of his bail have already been met.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s Newsroom on Sunday, NPP National Youth Organiser Salam Mustapha criticised EOCO’s handling of the matter, calling on the agency to seek justice through the courts rather than keeping the former CEO in custody.
“If Hannan has done something wrong, put him before a court of law and let him have his day. We will go to the EOCO office together with some MPs, party sympathisers, and executives, and ask why. We want to know why he is still being kept in the station when the conditions that you put on him have been met.”
He further expressed frustration over EOCO’s lack of communication and what he described as punitive detention, despite the bail evaluation exceeding the required threshold.
