The Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) preparatory team, led by its chairman, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has reportedly stopped private developers from demolishing some state bungalows.
Ablakwa, who broke the news in a post shared on social media on Saturday, January 11, 2025, stated that the bungalows, which are behind the State House and are occupied by staff of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Gender, Children and Social Protection, were about to be destroyed by a developer who claimed to have acquired them last year.
He added that the National Security Committee, recently appointed by President John Dramani Mahama, has stepped in to ensure that the bungalows are not destroyed.
“Team ORAL has this morning promptly acted on a distress petition from government workers occupying four bungalows behind the State House which were about to be demolished by a faceless private developer who sent thugs claiming they paid for the land last year.
“President Mahama’s National Security Committee has immediately moved in to protect the bungalows. We have asked the government workers, who are staff of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Gender, Children and Social Protection, not to move out of their bungalows as demanded by the thugs,” he wrote.
Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament for the North Tongu Constituency, also indicated that President Mahama has stated that no government bungalow should be sold.
“President Mahama says no government bungalow is for sale. Notice is hereby served that those faceless private developers may proceed for a refund from whoever they purportedly bought the state lands from.”
