The lawyer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chairman’s son, Dr Kwaku Asiedu-Nketia has warned persons of spreading false information regarding their client.
According to the legal team of Dr Kwaku Asiedu-Nketia, they have intercepted a video circulating in the media and on some social platforms attributing the ownership of a parcel of land behind Trassaco to their client.
They boldly emphasised in a statement issued that their client has no interest nor any connection to the said land under litigation.
In a viral video, a man accused Dr Kwaku Asiedu-Nketia of trying to intimidate them with the military.
The man stated, “ If they had genuine documents the police could assist them, the name that we are hearing is our National Chairman Asiedu Nketia’s son is the one doing this. Under the NPP we did not allow them how much more than our own party.
The advice I will give my Chairman is that whether he is among them or not he should advise his son because he has an ambition. He and his son should stay clear of the land. If he wants lands he can go to the Brong Ahafo”.
