The Attorney-General and Minister of Justice has withdrawn all charges against former Works and Housing Minister, Mr Collins Dauda, and four others involved in the $200-million Saglemi Housing trial.
Hilda Craig, the Principal State Attorney, told the court that the prosecution was in court for its nolle prosequi in the case filed on February 7.
A nolle prosequi notice was filed at the High Court (Financial Division 1) in Accra on Friday, February 7, 2025, signalling the State’s decision to discontinue the prosecution of Collins Dauda, Kweku Agyeman-Mensah (former Minister of Water Resources, Works and Housing) and Alhaji Ziblim Yakubu (former Chief Director of the Ministry).
The rest are Nouvi Tetteh Angelo (CEO of Ridge Management Solutions Ghana Limited), and Andrew Clocanas (deceased, former Executive Chairman of Construtora OAS Ghana Limited).
The notice, signed by the Attorney General, officially marks the end of the State’s case against the accused individuals.
The accused persons previously faced 70 charges, including causing financial loss to the state, related to the $200-million Saglemi Affordable Housing Project, but pleaded not guilty.
The court, therefore, discharged the rest of the accused persons accordingly.
