In a recent post on X, Mr Ablakwa revealed that "Management and security personnel of Ghana International School have been compelled to use its school buses as a blockade to prevent an illegal takeover of their land in Cantonments following last Saturday’s foiled 2am invasion."

He further noted that GIS is "hurriedly erecting a fence wall, hopefully as a more permanent solution," and questioned, "How did Ghana get here? State Capture must and will be defeated!"

In response to these allegations, the Office of the President has issued a statement addressing the matter. The Office refutes any involvement in the land dispute, stating that "the Office of the President does NOT have any interest whatsoever in the piece of land in question."

The statement clarifies that "no officer, agent or assign has been directed to secure and/or interfere in any matter pertaining to GIS land within Cantonments."

Additionally, the Office has explained that "the said Chief Superintendent Ibrahim Opoku of the VIP unit of the OOP did his professional duty by handing over alleged encroachers and suspects to the Cantonments Police Station when he chanced upon an altercation at the Cantonments barrier on his way from work."

It also notes that "the Chief Superintendent submitted his credentials at the police station, as he is enjoined to do, as part of standard operating procedure in such situations."

In light of these developments, the Office of the President has lodged a formal complaint with the Inspector General of Police, requesting an investigation into the entire matter.

The Office urges the public to "disregard as false any statements to the contrary."
