Special Prosecutor Freezes All Of Late Sir John’s Assets
The Office of the Special Prosecutor has frozen the assets of the late Chief Executive Officer of the Forestry Commission, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, popularly known as Sir John.
This latest move is part of investigations into the acquisition of state lands that were contained in the will of the late CEO.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor last week commenced investigations into a suspected case of corruption against Sir John, with regard to his alleged improper acquisition of state lands within the Achimota forest and the Sakumono Ramsar site.
The will caused public uproar after he bequeathed state lands to some relatives.
Citi News sources have said processes are underway to also freeze his assets overseas.
A purported copy of the will of the late Sir John went viral online and sparked anger among many Ghanaians.
The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources also said it would investigate the parts of the will pertaining to the land acquisition.
