Four individuals have been charged by the police in Greater Accra over destruction of a 7-bedroom property belonging to Paul Sackey.
The said property located at Otano, Adjiriganor has been a subject of litigation following a claim by some individuals purported to be representatives of the Akwraboye Doku family.
One Michael Adjei claiming to be secretary to the Akwraboye Doku Family and a businesswoman Sarah Agyaa Owusu-Ansah in the name of enforcement of a judgment got the property of Mr. Sacky demolished laying claim to the land.
A member of the Paul Sackey family who has been given the power of attorney Yaa Serwah Dumashie consequently lodged a complaint with the police arguing the land does not fall within the area the said judgment covers.
Investigations by the police have subsequently revealed indeed the said judgment does not cover the Paul Sacky land.
According to the police investigative report in possession of Starr News Michael Adjei of Teshie, Sarah Agyaa Owusu-Ansah, One Eidi and Ayiki Wulormu all at large have all been charged with Trespassing and causing unlawful damage contrary to Section 157 and 172 of the Criminal Offences Act 1960 (Act 29) respectively. The four have also been charged with Unlawful Protection of Land Contrary to Section 12 (2) OF Act 1036.
According to the report, ‘‘the police requested for the certified true copy of the judgment plan of the Akwraboye Doku Family from the court. The police extended investigations to the lands commission, Survey Department Accra with the judgment plan and requested for a composite plan.’’
‘‘The Police subsequently visited the disputed land together with the complainant and surveyors from the regional survey department and the coordinates of the disputed land were picked to enable the surveyors prepare a composite plan for police investigations.’’
The conclusion of the investigations according to the police revealed the said land is not covered by the judgment and thus belongs to Paul Sacky.
‘‘The composite plan was received by the police from the survey department of the Lands Commission. The composite plan revealed that the disputed land at Otano, East Legon does not fall within the judgment plan of the Akwraboye Doku Family.’’
