The embattled Paramount Chief of the Atti-Morkwa Traditional Area in the Central Region, Oseadeeyo Kwesi Kennin IV, who is already facing legal action for his alleged involvement in illegal mining, has been hit with a fresh lawsuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this new case, nine additional mining companies have taken the Chief to court, accusing him of engaging in illegal mining activities on their concessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The companies allege that the Chief has illegally trespassed on their mining lands, intensifying the legal troubles he already faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Previously, Oseadeeyo Kwesi Kennin IV was sued by Kadesh Mining Enterprise for allegedly carrying out unauthorized mining operations on their concession, also in the Central Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new legal action further compounds his ongoing legal battles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nine mining companies are seeking a court order to restrain the Chief and his workers from invading their concessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, they are requesting that the court order the restoration and reclamation of the areas that have already been mined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the court session on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, His Lordship Samuel Faraday Johnson, who is presiding over the case, adjourned the hearing to October 28, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The judge indicated that he is awaiting a ruling from the Kumasi High Court regarding the jurisdiction in which the case between Kadesh Mining Enterprise and the Paramount Chief will be heard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
