The Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has formally dropped all charges against former Works and Housing Minister Collins Dauda and four others implicated in the Saglemi Housing Project case.
A nolle prosequi notice filed at the High Court (Financial Division 1) in Accra on Friday, February 7, 2025, signaled the state’s decision to discontinue the prosecution of Collins Dauda, Kweku Agyeman-Mensah (ex-Minister for Water Resources, Works, and Housing), Alhaji Ziblim Yakubu (former Chief Director of the Ministry), Nouvi Tetteh Angelo (CEO of Ridge Management Solutions Ghana Limited), and Andrew Clocanas (deceased, former Executive Chairman of Construtora OAS Ghana Limited).
The case stemmed from allegations of financial mismanagement surrounding the $200 million Saglemi Affordable Housing Project, initiated under the Akufo-Addo administration.
The accused faced a combined 70 charges, including causing financial loss to the state.
The Attorney-General’s withdrawal officially ends the legal proceedings against all parties.
