An Assistant Registrar of the University for Development Studies (UDS) in Tamale, Madam Stephanie Adongo has claimed her jilted husband, Mr. Gregory Amoah Agana wants to assassinate her following a disagreement over a parcel of land.

Madam Stephanie told Ultimate News her former husband, a former education director for Bolga is after her life for taken him to court and claiming ownership of a 4-plot land and their private residence after their marriage failed.

The Registrar was married to Mr. Gregory in 1995. They lived with their three children in a private residence at Bolgatanga, Upper East Regional capital.

However, Madam Stephanie wriggled out of marriage after her husband took a decision to marry another woman.

According to her, after several failed attempts to have access to documents of the land which she purchased in her former husband’s name she was compelled to take a legal action.

She added that a court in Bolgatanga ruled in her favour and ordered a proper documentation by change of ownership.

She said her former husband took offence after defying the court order and tried to forcibly evict her from the residence which she had built with him.

Ms Adongo said her resolve not to live ‘their house’ and rescind her decision to claim the land triggered the death threats.

The educationists claimed her former partner had violently attacked her physically and inflicted injuries on her.

“I believe that after the ruling of the court case in Tamale he became more aggressive. He had earlier on threatened several times that of he uses spiritual powers to kill me nobody would send him to court. Even on June, 17 he came to the house and started giving me slaps; this is a man who has done martial art”

She also alleged that Gregory sent gun wielding snipers to her official residence in Tamale to kill her.

“The other issue is that on the 2nd July, Saturday dawn, around 2am, three men jumped over the wall and entered the house wearing masks; 2 of them holding guns and confronted the security man and asked whether his madam was around. The security man said No madam didn’t come home and they jumped over the wall again and left,” she claimed.

The University executive is appealing to the Police in the Upper East and the Northern regions to grant her full security protection.

“I see all this to be a threat on my life and I believe its coming from the man and his wife; all this while they have tried attempting to kill me. I know they they are the only people who are going to benefit from my sweat. I know the police has done their part but I think its not enough and I need them to grant me security protection”, Madam Adongo appealed.
