The Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has officially withdrawn all legal charges against former Works and Housing Minister Collins Dauda and four other individuals linked to the Saglemi Affordable Housing Project.

A nolle prosequi notice, filed at the High Court (Financial Division 1) in Accra on Friday, February 7, 2025, confirmed the state’s decision to discontinue prosecution against Collins Dauda, Kweku Agyeman-Mensah (former 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 notice, signed by the Attorney-General, officially brings an end to the state’s case against the accused individuals.

Background of the Case
