The Family of Oppong in Akim Swedru in the Berim South District Assembly of the Eastern Region has cautioned a renowned legal practitioner, Lawyer Addo Atuah to stay away from Coppon Wood Processing Limited.
The aforementioned company was registered in 1987 by four brothers namely; Charles Oppong, Alexander Archibald Oppong, Maxwell Oppong, and Adarkwah Oppong together with their Auntie, Elizabeth Oppong, and hired the services of Addo Atuah to become the company’s lawyer.
According to the family, the four brothers and their Auntie died mysteriously with Charles Oppong being the last person to pass away in 2012.
They mentioned that after the death of the four brothers, it is alleged that Lawyer Addo Atuah had taken over the company and issued several threats to the children of the company owners should they dare to challenge him.
They added that they have had several engagements with Lawyer Addo Atuah to hand over the Company’s documents and shares that have been transferred to his children’s name back to the company but all have proven futile.
“We [the Oppong Family] decided to hold a press conference to humbly ask Lawyer Addo Atuah to stay away from the Company and allow the late four brothers’ children to fully take over the company and run it because we don’t want to have any grudge with him,” they stated.
Addressing a press conference, Alex Kwaku Tetteh, the President of the Citizen Eye-Ghana, and also a Member of the Oppong Family pleaded with the Ghana Bar Association and President Akufo Addo to come to their aid and help them reclaim Coppon Wood Processing Limited from Lawyer Addo Atuah.
However, all efforts to reach the accused lawyer for his side of the story have yielded no result.
