Legal documents recently revealed that Mr. Ayamga initiated legal proceedings to obtain an eviction order for a property he claimed to have purchased from his ex-girlfriend, who was not the rightful owner. The legitimate owner, Mr. Bram Rodenburg, represented by attorney Ms. Georgina Ama Eghan, intervened in the case and exposed the fraudulent nature of the ownership transfer.
During the cross-examination, it came to light that a friend of Mr. Ayamga, Sheila Abayie-Buckman, had drafted the Power of Attorney used in the fraudulent transaction. Furthermore, no evidence of payment was provided by Ayamga or his ex-girlfriend, raising suspicions about the legitimacy of the sale.
The High Court ultimately ruled in favor of Mr. Rodenburg, nullifying the sale and returning ownership of the property to him. The court also criticized Mr. Ayamga for his involvement in the fraudulent scheme, particularly considering his position as a senior police officer and lawyer.
Despite appealing the decision, Mr. Ayamga was unsuccessful in overturning the ruling, as the Supreme Court dismissed his review application for lacking merit. The High Court Judge expressed disappointment in Mr. Ayamga, highlighting his roles as a Senior Police Officer and lawyer, implying that he should have been more cognizant of the fraudulent activity surrounding the Busua property.
In the legal proceedings, Mr. Ayamga was represented by Dr. Justice Srem-Sai of Praetorium Solicitors in Accra, while Mr. Rodenburg was represented by Mr. Constantine K M Kudzedzi of Cann, Quarshie & Co in Takoradi.
Despite multiple attempts at appeal, the Supreme Court maintained its original decision, dealing a significant legal blow to Mr. Ayamga in this high-profile property fraud case. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to legal processes and ethical standards, especially for individuals in positions of authority and trust.
The outcome of this case demonstrates the commitment of the judicial system to uphold justice and protect the rights of legitimate property owners. It also serves as a cautionary tale for those who may be tempted to engage in fraudulent activities, emphasizing the potential legal consequences and reputational damage that can result from such actions.
Overall, the case highlights the importance of due diligence, transparency, and adherence to legal procedures in all transactions, particularly those involving high-value assets such as real estate. It also underscores the role of the legal system in serving as a check against fraudulent behavior and protecting the rights of individuals against unscrupulous actors.
