After allegations of compromising his official duties with police to suit his whims and caprices started flying in thick and fast, the Municipal Chief Executive of the Abokobi Municipal Assembly, Hon. Kwao Sackey, has called the bluff of the Ghana Police Service, and the Queen mother of Asante Agona (Oyoko Clan), in the Ashanti region, Nana Serwaa Karikari (also a landlady in the area), asking them to go to court if they think the Assembly had not been able to address their concerns.

Nana Serwaa Karikari is one of the many property owners at the said area (Rocks street, behind the Paramount Hotel), who have for over six years petitioned the Abokobi Municipal Assembly to address their concerns over the alarming rate at which encroachers were taking over the area, but to no avail.

One Of such encroachers is a certain Margaret Adu-Poku, who once had her structure pulled down by the Amasaman Assembly, but had been able to rebuild it due to her supposed connections at the Abokobi Municipal Assembly, the New Crusading Guide has gathered.

According to Nana Serwaa, the activities of encroachers in the area had created fear, to the extent that “sometimes you walk in the night and people will be chasing you for your bags and mobile phones”.

When scouts from this paper visited the area, several structures had been given ultimatum since 2006 to be “removed immediately”, but were still not touched as at the time of filing this story.
