I Have Not Taken Any Land Belonging To You – Akufo-Addo’s Secretary Asks Ga Chiefs To Retract And Apologize Within 48 Hours

The Executive Secretary to the President, Nana Asante Bediatuo has reacted to claims made by a Ga Clan that he had illegally encroached on a piece of land belonging to them.

The Abafum Djaase clan issued a strong warning to the Executive Secretary to the President, Nana Asante Bediatuo, warning him to keep off their land in his own best interest.

According to them, Nana Bediatuo, who is the owner of the Sandbox beach resort, a state-of-the art beach resort in Accra is also illegally laying claim to a parcel of land close to the resort.

The Abafum Djaase clan also accused Mr Bediatuo of illegally pulling down a fence wall around the disputed property.

Speaking at a press conference in Accra, the leader of the Abafum delegation, Mr Jeffrey Tetteh warned Mr Asante Bediatuo to stay off the land or else they will advise themselves.

However, in a statement, lawyers for Bediatuo at Minkah-Premo & Co chambers described the claims as not only spurious, but also unfounded and libellous.

Part of the statement issued by Mr Bediatuo’s lawyers read,

“our client states without equivocation that the allegation by the said Mr. Tetteh that he is ‘illegally claiming title to a parcel of land’ close to Sandbox Beach Resort is absolutely false.”

“The allegation that Sandbox Beach Resort belongs to our client is also false”, they stated, whiles noting with emphasis “state emphatically that our client does not own nor has any interest in Sandbox Beach Resort.”

“We further state that our client has neither acquired nor claimed title to any parcel of land
adjacent to it”, the lawyers stated, insisting “he assertion that our client intends to use the state machinery, by virtue of his position in the current administration, to annex the above-mentioned parcel of land is patently false.”

Mr Bediatuo has therefore demanded that the false and spurrious allegations should be retracted, and an apology rendered within 48 hours.
