The Deputy Attorney General, Dr. Justice Srem Sai, has told the High Court that he doubts the medical excuse provided for a former National Food Buffer Stock Company boss. Hanan Abdul-Wahab is the first accused in an ongoing criminal trial.
Abdul-Wahab failed to appear in court for his case on July 29, 2026. His lawyers presented a medical excuse for his absence.
Dr. Srem Sai stated that he has reasons to doubt the legitimacy of this medical excuse. He informed the court of his reservations.
The court is hearing the criminal case against Abdul-Wahab. Further details about the nature of the charges were not immediately available.
The Deputy Attorney General’s statement suggests a potential legal challenge regarding Abdul-Wahab's continued absence from court proceedings.
The Judicial Service has not yet made a decision on how to proceed following the Deputy AG's objection.
