Nine people, including former Asokore Mampong Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) Alidu Seidu, have been granted bail by the Kumasi High Court over their alleged involvement in a land fraud scheme at Buoban in the Asokore Mampong Municipality of the Ashanti Region.
The accused are alleged to have conspired to unlawfully sell a 10.54-acre parcel of government land earmarked for the construction of a community hospital at Buoban and to have falsified official land documents to facilitate the transaction.
Each of the accused persons was granted bail in the sum of GH¢800,000 with three sureties, to be justified with landed property.
The suspects face 12 charges, including conspiracy to falsify land records, falsification of land records, fraudulent breach of trust, abetment of crime in the alleged unlawful sale of public land, conspiracy to commit crime, unlawful occupation of public land, and possession of forged documents.
Meanwhile, two other suspects, the Kenyasehene and the Odikro, who are also implicated in the case but failed to appear before the court, have been issued with bench warrants for their arrest.
The case has been adjourned to March 12, 2026.
