It’s official. From its chairman to the very last assign, members of the East Dedekotopon Development Trust (EDDT) have as far back as 2014 been under the radar of the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service.

At the instance of the Ataa Tawiah Tsinaiatse Family of La, following a petition its lawful Attorney, Esther Korkoi Quaye, fired to the Attorney General (AG), the AG ordered the CID to investigate members of the Trust who as of now think they are living in heaven when practically they are living in hell.

The paper gathered that the CID are almost rapping up on their findings and would soon haul many of the members of the trust to Court for criminal prosecution.

If found culpable, many of the members of the Trust who are indiscriminately selling the La Trade Fair lands to unsuspecting buyers and estate developers would soon be languishing in jail.

The letter from the Attorney General’s Department, dated 25 June 2014 (Published elsewhere) and signed by Chief State Attorney, William Kpobi reads in part that, “Their main concern (Ataa Tawiah Tsinaiatse Family) a group known as the East Dadekotopon Development Trust is defrauding people under the false pretext of giving them land to purchase”.

It is just revving up as in the coming weeks this paper would dig into the blow-by-blow accounts of how the Trust came to being and whether it has lived up to its billing. Also, read about the startling number of people in higher-up who have benefited and are still benefiting from the activities of the Trust when they are fully aware that its members are under criminal investigations and would soon face the full rigours of the law.
