A Physically challenged man has appealed to the conscience of the government and Ghanaians, in general, to help him get justice after his 3-bedroom house was demolished without any compensation.
The Victim, Benjamin Thompson, said he was at Winneba for medical attention when he received a call that his house was being demolished.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Mr Thompson explained that years ago he was involved in an accident which affected his arm.
According to him, after trying hard to have his arm fixed through surgery, he was informed by doctors that there was nothing more they could do.
Realizing he had been left deformed for life, he saved up money including money from his insurance company and put up the 3-bedroom house at Dansoman which has been demolished by the Christ Apostolic Church.
Prior to the demolition, he explained some police officers and a man he did not know stormed the premises and asked that he comes to the police headquarters with them.
Though he did not know the men or the crime committed, he obliged and followed them.
“When we got to the regional head office, they started asking me how I acquired the land to build and I told them I built the house through my insurance money.
Mr Thompson said he was heartbroken when he received the call on Saturday about the demolition which he had no knowledge of.
“I was at Winneba when the call came that some pastors from Christ Apostolic Church and police officers in patrol car had stormed the building and started demolishing the building saying they want to build a church.
“How can a church do this to me, a physically challenged man? I met about five police officers destroying my property and they never said anything to me as I watch my property destroyed. I even collapsed upon seeing that,” he said.
He, therefore, called on Ghanaians to assist him get justice.
