The Office of the President says it has formally requested the IGP to investigate the entire matter, urging the public to "disregard as false any statements to the contrary."

Mr Ablakwa, whose earlier remarks prompted a response from the Office of the President alleged 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!"

The Office has insisted that "the Office of the President does NOT have any interest whatsoever in the piece of land in question" and that "no officer, agent or assign has been directed to secure and/or interfere in any matter pertaining to GIS land within Cantonments."
