A response to recent reports of property demolitions in Accra allegedly involving Abu Ramadan, brother of Samira Bawumia, dancehall artiste Shatta Wale voiced strong concerns about abuse of power and asset accumulation by those in authority.
During a widely circulated interview, Shatta Wale expressed dismay at such occurrences, asserting that they would not be tolerated in countries where equality is strictly enforced.
“It’s disheartening to hear that the sister of the Vice President’s wife was involved in demolishing people’s homes as though it is a normal issue. No, this cannot be accepted. We must uphold equality. In the UK, even disciplining a child can lead to police intervention,” he remarked.
Shatta Wale emphasized that indiscriminate demolition has become commonplace but should not be normalized.
“Ghana isn’t a country, it is an estate because police officers are building houses. President’s bodyguards are building houses and hospitals for themselves,” he added.
Recently, reports emerged alleging that Abu Ramadan, the Deputy Director-General of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) and brother of Samira Bawumia, was involved in demolishing several buildings in Accra, including properties owned by a brother of Kennedy Agyapong.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Samira Bawumia has refuted any involvement in the reported demolitions carried out by her brother, considering it baseless to link her to the incident merely because of her familial connection to the Deputy NADMO Director-General. She believes such accusations are an attempt to smear her reputation and that of her husband, especially as the country approaches the December elections.
