Lawyers representing Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba have taken legal steps to ensure he appears in court.
Aludiba previously served as the Chief Executive Officer of the National Food Buffer Stock Company.
His legal team filed an application for an order of habeas corpus.
This legal order aims to compel public officials to produce a person.
The application names the Director of the Bureau of National Intelligence and the Attorney-General as respondents.
It seeks to force them to bring Aludiba before the High Court.
The specific reasons for his current detention are not fully detailed in the filing.
This development indicates a legal challenge regarding his custody.
