The legal representative of  Dr. Kwaku Asiedu Nketia, the Acting Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Minerals Income Investment Fund, has cautioned media houses against the reportage of false information over the ownership of a parcel of land situated at Nmai Dzorm, behind Trassaco, which is a subject of litigation.

Dennis Yao Terkpertey Esq., in a statement authored on behalf of his client, cited a video that has gone viral on social media.

In the video, a man accuses Dr. Kwaku Asiedu Nketia of using unlawful means to possess the land. According to Dennis Yao Terkpertey Esq, Harry Otoo Hesse is the brain behind the circulated video.

The lawyer noted that his client has no interest in or any connection to the said land under litigation.

The said land dispute, according to reliable sources and information cited by Dennis Yao Terkpertey Esq is between two traditional councils.

"Further information received indicate that, the said land is the subject of litigation before a Court of competent jurisdiction, and we want to place on record that, our client is not a party to the said litigation," he added.

As such, "any attempt to draw our Client's name into the dispute shall be fiercely resisted and the necessary and the appropriate legal action will be taken against any media house or persons behind such false, malicious and misleading publications."

Dr. Kwaku Asiedu Nketia's legal team has thus cautioned all media houses and persons circulating the piece information with the attempt to bring the name of their Client into disrepute and public ridicule.

"We hereby serve a notice to the public through this press statement that, should our Client's name be mentioned in any further publication by any media house or persons circulating same on social media, we have express instructions from our Client to institute legal actions against the said media house and persons and further press criminal charges to the aspect that borders on criminality," the statement added.

Also, Harry Otoo Hesse has been directed to immediately retract the said video and render an unqualified apology within 24 hours using the same medium or face legal action.
