Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has accused Nana Adjoa Hackman, wife of Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, of involvement in the illegal acquisition of state land.
According to Ablakwa, Nana Adjoa, while serving as a board member of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), unlawfully obtained the property, which originally belonged to the Judicial Service of Ghana.
The land now reportedly serves as the location for the Asaase Broadcasting Corporation.
Ablakwa previously alleged that the property housing the headquarters of Asaase Broadcasting Company (ABC) in Accra was illegally obtained from the state.
He stated that the property, originally owned by the Judicial Service of Ghana, was unlawfully sold by the government to a private entity.
In response to the allegations, Asaase Broadcasting Company dismissed the claims as misleading and false, stating that Lilly Homes Limited legally acquired their headquarters through proper and lawful procedures.
In a turn of events, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has claimed that Lilly Homes, owned by Nana Adjoa Hackman, the wife of Gabby Otchere-Darko, obtained its property from the state through illegal means.
Calling ABC’s rebuttal disingenuous, Ablakwa clarified that the assertion that Asaase’s headquarters belongs to the Judicial Service comes from a writ filed by the service in court as part of its legal action to reclaim the property from Lilly Homes and other encroachers.
He also emphasized that Lilly Homes Limited is owned solely by Nana Adjoa Hackman, who is a co-owner of Asaase Broadcasting Company.
Ablakwa criticized ABC for misrepresenting the relationship between Lilly Homes and Asaase as merely a landlord-tenant arrangement, calling it dishonest and misleading.
He went on to disclose that when Lilly Homes acquired the ABC headquarters, Nana Adjoa Hackman was serving as an Akufo-Addo appointee on the GNPC board.
