I'll expose powerful man behind demolition of Bulgarian embassy in Accra - Ablakwa
Ablakwa is incensed about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration's and the Lands Commission's helplessness regarding the demolition of the Bulgarian embassy in Accra.
A private developer is said to have demolished the building at Kakramadu Road, Plot No. 10, East Cantonments, despite documents showing that the Bulgarian government has a lease on the land until 2033.
According to him, the developer, escorted by officers from the Cantonments Police Station, ejected staff of the embassy and even assaulted the Honorary Consul, Nicolaas C.M. van Staalduinen, in his effort to restrain them.
