Lawyer demands urgent court hearing in Hanan Abdul-Wahab detention case

Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has urged the courts to fast-track proceedings in a habeas corpus application filed on behalf of Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, the former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food Buffer Stock Company, who remains in custody.

The habeas corpus application seeks to challenge the lawfulness of Abdul-Wahab's continued detention. Kpebu's call for an expedited hearing highlights concerns about the pace of judicial proceedings in the case, which has attracted attention within Ghana's legal and civil society circles.

Abdul-Wahab's legal team argues that an urgent hearing is necessary to determine whether the grounds for his detention remain valid under Ghanaian law. The case underscores ongoing debates about detention procedures and due process protections within the country's justice system.
