In a statement issued on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, the GES said the interdiction would remain in force pending the outcome of a full-scale investigation into the allegations.
He has also been directed to proceed on interdiction with immediate effect and make himself available to assist with the ongoing investigation.
“Mr. Abdulai has consequently been directed to proceed on interdiction with immediate effect and to make himself available to assist with the investigation,” the Service stated.

The GES further disclosed that a complaint had been lodged with the police in connection with the matter.
