Madam Freda Darko, a
businesswoman has made a passionate appeal to the President Nana Akufo-Addo to
stop one of his bodyguards, Prince Mohammed from bullying her.
According to
the businesswoman, Mohammed is trying to forcibly take her land at Shiashie,
which she bought about 21 years ago from her.
In the
petition, she said hearing that Mohammed had sent land guards to the land and
some form of construction had started, she went there to speak with them but
one of them attempted assaulting her so she had to quickly leave the site.
“They even
assaulted my son whom they saw taking a video of what was going on on the land.
He had to buy some pain killers from the pharmacy since one of them slapped him
heavily,” She recounted.
Showing pictures of the land
guards who had cut down all trees which were planted about 21 years ago for her
company, for demarcation purposes, Mdm Darko pleaded with the president to
‘call Mohammed to order’.
Mohammed according to her had
threatened to make her ‘run away from the land’.
The land in question according
to authentic documents sighted by Modern Ghana Online originally and genuinely
belongs to Madam Freda Darko.
She bought the land in 1999 and
has all official documents to show including all the land titles.
She revealed that after some years a man who introduced
himself as the Shiashie Chief known as Nii Opremele also popped up claiming
ownership and even told her that he had won a case against Mr. Tetteh Apan of
Apankye We stool landowners.
Nii Opremire claimed that the
judge ruled in his favour and the judgement had stated that Madam Freda should
prepare an ‘ATONEMENT OF TENANCY’ to him (Nii Opremle).
“We performed the ‘ATONEMENT OF
TENANCY’ to him and I paid for all the three plots as he claimed which means
that just one plot I bought, I have paid two feuding parties. I did all
documents to cover it and they have come back this time, they have the backing
of some people in top positions in the current government.
“…I bought a big sheep, yam and
some other items meant for the ATONEMENT OF TENANCY and paid for all the money
he demanded.” She noted sadly.
After all these, Nii Opremire
went on to give a portion of the land to someone and the case is in court now.
She stressed that lawyer for the
people to whom the land has been wrongly given is Mr. Godfred Dame who is the
current Deputy Minister of Justice and Attorney General, has incessantly
frustrated her efforts to attain Justice.
She is worried that Mr. Dame who
has been using Akufo Addo, Prempeh and Co. Law firm is still on the case,
noting that there can never be Justice when he has an interest in the case.
“This is a case of bullying,
conflict or interest and abuse of power and I am pleading with our president HE
Nana Akufo Addo to come to my aid”. Mdm Freda noted sadly.
She lamented that the
mischievous manner in which Mr. Dame made her a party to a court case when she
was not and managed to get her bank accounts garnished, still baffles her and
called on the president to let him stay off the case.
Meanwhile, she also appealed to
the Chief Justice, Justice Anim Yeboah to arrange a video coverage of the next
court proceedings on the land since there is a clandestine attempt by some
individuals to frustrate her efforts to secure justice and get her land.
According to her, most of the
lawyers she engaged are lured to tamper her evidence alleging also that some
staff of the court have deliberately been destroying her files.
