Otumfour’s Investigative Chief Fingers Some Chiefs Over Double Sales Of Land And Usage Of Macho-men.
The Executive Director for Corruption Combat International and investigative chief for Manhyia palace, Nana Kwadwo Amoah Ampem Okogyeabour has expressed disappointment in some chiefs for defying Otumfour’s orders by still using macho-men to intimidate innocent people and also doing double sales of land.
Mentioning chief of Nyantaase as a typical example, the fearless investigator disclosed that it was high time those chiefs were called to order.
According to him, the Nyantaase who skipped his boundary, pounced on an innocent developer with macho-men to beat and destroy his properties.
He said, the land which was sold to the developer by the Ampabame chief, was forcibly seized by the Nyantaase chief who went there with macho-men.
“He forced the developer to pay extra Ghc 95,000 despite buying it from the Ampabame chief at an amount of Gh¢110,000.
Meanwhile, the allocation documents in my possession reveals that that particular land belongs to the Ampabame chief”. he said.
He further accused the Ejisu Manhene who is the overlord of the two chiefs for looking on to allow such confusion without uttering a word. “My investigations have revealed that the Ejisu Manhene Nana Afrane Okesse who was supposed to calm down the situation rather looked on for these unfortunate incidents to occur”.
His outburst comes in following an alleged attack on one developer, Yaw Gyamfi and his sister whilst they were at site working on their projects.
According to Mr Gyamfi, he had paid for the land having received credible documents from the Ampabame chief when the Nyantaase chief also came in with macho-men, claiming to be the owner of the land.
“They destroyed our cements and other building items worth millions. They’ve also forced us to pay extra amount but we’re still not at peace.
These macho-men keep coming at us. We need help because we’re really at risk”. he told this reporter.
To Nana Kwadwo Amoah Ampem, there was the need to call all persons found culpable on the matter to order since it was prohibited for chiefs to use macho-men to settle land disputes.
