‘Check individual who annexe family properties’

Nii Ashitey Tetteh, Head of Nii Okpe families of Amamoley and Okortoshishi of Ngleshie James Town, has advised family heads in the Greater Accra Region to check individuals who, out of greed, alienate family properties for personal gains.

He said these negative practices were, more often than not, the causes of numerous disputes that had plagued some families for centuries in the region and other parts of the country.

He said it was not uncommon to see these trouble makers in families that lacked strong and unifying leaders.

Nii Ashitey Tetteh gave the advice last week when he installed Mr. Victor Adotei Acquaye (Akutse) as the new head of the Naa Odarley We Tsoro, Asene, Usher Town, Accra.

Mr. Victor Nii Adotei Acquaye succeeded the late Mr. William Emmanuel Nii Moi Acquaye (Uncle Willie) who passed on in November 2020.

Family members and elders who witnessed the installation included Hon. Ernest Acquaye  Armah, Nii Dantu and representatives of Kormaa We, Tsoro, Asene, Godbless Naa Larley families from Medie, Winneba and Mepomme.

Nii Ashitey told the new family head to maintain the highest standards of discipline, control, patience and above all, a team player to foster lasting unity in the family.

The new family head, Nii Adotei Acquaye promised to do all in his power to maintatn discipline and foster family cohesion all the time.

He asked for co-operation and the spirit of forgiveness whenever family members wronged one another.
