Sir John’s family are allegedly fighting over his will – Lands Ministry

The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources has indicated that its preliminary investigation indicates that the family of the late Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie is contesting his will in court.

The Ministry after the will leaked on social media said it was investigating to ascertain the veracity of portions of the will that allotted lands in the Achimota Forest and Sakumono Ramsar site to his family members.

After its preliminary investigation, the Ministry has indicated that there is a case in court over the will of the late Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie.

“Preliminary inquiries reveal that the alleged Will in question is a subject of litigation/contestation in court.”

The statement from the Ministry further revealed that there are no records to the effect that Sir John owned lands in the Achimota.

The statement said the Minister has directed the Lands and Forestry Commissions to deem any ownership of lands both in Achimota Forest and Sakumono Ramsar site by Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie as void.
