Idris Salia, son of the late Ghanaian businessman Alhaji Salia Abdulai, has shared details about how some individuals, including his siblings, forged a will in their late father's name in an attempt to inherit his properties.
In an interview with Kofi TV, Idris Salia, the 11th of his father's 17 sons, explained that he suspected his siblings had forged the will because his late father adhered to Islamic principles, which prohibit fathers from leaving a will for their children, wives, or other blood relatives. "If my father wanted to do a will, he would have consulted with a respected Muslim to handle it for him to avoid confusion among his sons." According to him, his siblings, who had conspired to forge the will, failed to provide him with a copy despite repeated efforts to obtain one and verify its authenticity. "They informed us about the will so when we got to court, I requested for a copy of the will because I knew my father's principles while he was alive.
I wanted to have a feel of the paperwork because I previously worked as an auditor so I can detect if it's authentic or not.
For one year, they never gave us the copy.
