Samira Bawumia denies her involvement in East Legon property demolition.
The office of the 2nd Lady, Samira Bawumia, has clarified that she has no hand in the reported demolition of a building in the Adjiriganor enclave in Accra, which is at the centre of a legal tussle between two parties.
The demolition is alleged to have been carried out by the Deputy Director-General of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO), who happens to be a brother of Samira Bawumia.
Nonetheless, the Office of the 2nd Lady says the suggestions that the demolition was her handiwork are false.
The demolished property is supposedly owned by Mr George Oti Bonsu, a former Chairman of the Fundraising Committee of the Assin Central legislator, in the 2023 NPP presidential primaries.
However, some documents available show that the land in question was acquired by Abu Ramadan’s father but was invaded by encroachers who wanted to take over the land.
The case surrounding the ownership of the property landed at the Adentan Municipal Court in Accra and was later transferred to the Tema High Court for appropriate jurisdiction.
In the matter between Hajia Aisha Ahmed (Plaintiff/Judgment Creditor) and George Edem Kofi Agudogo, Winchester Empire Company Ltd. (1st and 2nd Defendants/Judgment Debtors Respectively), the Adentan Circuit Court 2 granted an Order for Perpetual Injunction against the Defendants; restraining their agents, workmen, assigns, servants and any other group of persons from going onto, entering into, selling and developing the said land with “the 2 parcels of land adjudged as belonging to the Plaintiff.”
Subsequently, the plaintiff on March 11, 2024, secured an Order for Possession of the land and on March 12, 2024, the Plaintiff wrote to the Director General of the Police Legal Directorate of the Ghana Police Service of its intention to go into the execution per Writ of Possession served on the Defendants by the Court, and requested for police assistance to carry out the order for possession.
A Search Report secured on November 25, 2022, from the Survey and Mapping Division of the Lands Commission, stated that the affected land belongs to Hajia Aisha Ahmed.

The wife of the Vice President, Samira Bawumia, believes it would be malicious for anyone to link her to the incident merely due to her connection to the Deputy NADMO Director-General even though he’s not a party to the suit in court over the land.
