Tema native petitions EOCO over GH¢889,000 payment

Mr Amarfio’s concern, according to the petition, was to establish why the names of the chiefs, youth and people of Tema were used in connection with the demand and receipt of the money and why Sonite Ghana Limited paid the amount.

Mr Amarfio, through his lawyers, is seeking clarity on the authority under which the individuals purported to represent the traditional authorities, youth and people of Tema, as well as the circumstances under which Sonite Ghana Limited made the payment.

The petition followed a land dispute involving Sonite Ghana Limited, which claims to own a 25,000-square-metre plot of land in Tema acquired with a Korean partner about 12 years ago.
