Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Malaika-Jabril Alhassan and businessman, Kofi Amoa-Abban of Rigworld Group have been fingered in an alleged unlawful demolition of property worth over GH¢1 million in Prampram.
The two have been accused by a Ghanaian real estate developer Christian Kpakpo Abbosey of abusing power in a land dispute.
On Tuesday, April 8 armed police officers with 100 suspected land guards demolished perimeter walls, foundations, and site offices using heavy machinery, including a grader on the 22.36-acre site.
According to the developer, Christian Kpakpo Abbosey the demolition was done by disregarding a July 2024 High Court order which granted Titanium 123 Properties Limited to continue construction activities on the land.
Reports suggest Mr Amoa-Abban contacted one of the affected landowners and stated, “New King; New Law” and at the Prampram Police Station claimed that retired Commissioner of Police (COP) Nathan Kofi Boakye and other powerful figures, were fully in known of the operation.
The Ghanaian real estate developer Christian Kpakpo Abbosey has claimed the demolition is part of intimidation following attempts to forcibly take over the land he honestly bought sometime in 2017.
The developer further alleged that before the court ruling in 2025 which reaffirmed Titanium 123’s legal rights to the land. The businessman Mr Amoa-Abban met with the Prampram Chief, Nene Tetteh Wakah and urged the landowners to sell the land in disguise of constructing a hospital.
He alleged that the new IGP Christian Tetteh Yohuno’s brother nicknamed “Big Joe”, was at the meeting representing the businessman.
The developer stated, “If the land genuinely belonged to him, why was he trying to buy it from us? When negotiations failed, he returned with bulldozers and armed men”.
Christian Kpakpo Abbosey further added that since 2021, Mr Amoa-Abban has used the police, military units, such as the 64 Infantry Battalion and 48 Engineers Regiment, and National Security to constantly pester and coerce him.
Christian Kpakpo Abbosey after a court ruling in July 2024 was summoned by the then National Security Minister, Albert Kan-Dapaah and Colonel Prince Tandoh after which he fled the country out of fear.
He stated, “ This is no longer just a land issue. It’s about truth, power, and the abuse of state institutions. If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.”
The Ghanaian developer is now calling on Ghanaians and authorities to demand justice by releasing his site supervisors being prosecuted by the High Court, Gbetsile, near Michel Camp, Tema.
However, both parties in the land dispute, Kofi Amoa-Abban of Ringworld Group and real estate firm Titanium 123 Properties Limited have been issuing public statements claiming ownership of the 22.36-acre parcel of land in Prampram.
Mr Abban of Rigworld Group has issued a rejoinder in response to recent media reports, while Titanium 123 has petitioned the National Security Secretariat, raising alarm over what it labels as state-backed intimidation and police misconduct.
The Rigworld Group rejoinder stated, “To clarify,” he wrote, “a court injunction prevents both Titanium 123 Properties and Kofi Abban Holdings from carrying out any activity on the land. However, the injunction expressly allows third-party grantees of both parties to work on site.”
Mr Abban alleged that Mr Abbosey, who has been vocal on the matter, is wanted by the Ghana Police for allegedly arming landguards with illegal weapons.
However, Titanium 123 Properties Limited in a petition addressed to the National Security Secretariat and copied to the IGP and the Chief of Staff at Jubilee House accused the police ASP Malaika-Jabril Alhassan of violating court orders..
Rita Adu-Gyamfi the operations Manager, wrote: “Despite lawful orders, the respondents, in blatant disregard of the court’s authority, engaged military and police personnel to forcibly evict and assault workers lawfully operating under our grantees… and used intimidation tactics to frustrate our legally protected activities.”
