In an interview on Channel One TV on Monday, October 28, Ayikoi Otoo, also the President of the Ga Dangbe Council, clarified the legal proceedings in the case, stating that delays in the judicial process stem from the actions of Adama Latse's legal team. "The two parties are before the judicial committee of the Greater Accra House of Chiefs.
Adama Latse who issued the statement is very much aware that there's a suit pending, he alleges that he has won many battles. "It's surprising that he wakes up and issues a statement that he's the only Ga Mantse.
