He accused Prince of using the Ababio guy to destroy his property as he described the event as a “political game and knowing people close to political power” because “the Prince guy used to say he (Prince) is going to use power to do what he wants to do, that is what exactly he is doing because if not that, Ababio would not tell me that, Regional Commander has called him to go and destroy three signboards including mine to clear the frontage of this Prince guy’s Store located almost under the high tension”.
“I planned to go to court with La Nkwantanang Madina Assembly and to also sue Ababio himself as an individual,” he stated.
