Ablakwa accuses President Akufo-Addo of allocating public lands to family

Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, MP for North Tongu and Chairman of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) team, has accused President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of allocating public lands to his daughter, Edwina Akufo-Addo, and niece, Adeline Akufo-Addo Kufuor, for their private businesses.

Ablakwa's allegations, posted on Facebook on December 23, 2024, include documents from the Lands Commission showing that the two women operate businesses—Nsuomnam Restaurant and The Lotte fashion outlet—on state-owned lands in Cantonments, Accra.

He raised concerns about the legitimacy of these land allocations, pointing to inconsistencies in the Lands Commission’s records, and called for an investigation into the matter.

The Ministry of Lands has previously denied similar claims.
