Former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food Buffer Stock Company, Abdul-Wahab Hannan, has been released from the custody of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) after spending two weeks in detention.
Hannan was arrested on June 25 along with his wife over allegations of financial misconduct during his tenure.
While his wife was granted bail last week at GH¢30 million, Hannan remained in custody despite reports that he had met the bail conditions.
On Tuesday, Hannan was finally released after being granted bail of GH¢60 million with two sureties.
His release followed growing public concern and criticism from the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which described the bail conditions as harsh and unfair.
Family members, who had kept vigil outside EOCO headquarters for days, were visibly relieved as they welcomed him with emotional embraces and prayers.
The high-profile arrest and prolonged detention have raised questions about the handling of the case and the severity of bail terms for public officials under investigation.
While investigations continue, the NPP has hinted at the need for broader discussions around fairness and due process in politically sensitive cases.
