Adama Latse who issued the statement is very much aware that there\u2019s a suit pending, he alleges that he has won many battles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s surprising that he wakes up and issues a statement that he\u2019s the only Ga Mantse. He went for a restraining order and he lost that battle, the court allowed his rival, who is King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II to exercise all the functions of Ga Mantse until the case was over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince I took over, we have been to court several times, the court has ordered that the parties should file their witness statements, but he has refused to file his witness statement. He has not been coming to court so I don\u2019t know what happened today that he issued this kind of statement, it\u2019s full of untruth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the plain language. There\u2019s an application injuncting which he lost. My client is working with the order of the court that he should continue to exercise the functions of a Ga Mantse until the determination of the case. The best advice for Adama is that he should put his act together and come to court so that the matter will be determined once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1101531\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/GA-MANTSE-AYI-OTOO.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"939\" height=\"1280\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#GhanaPolls2024<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#CitiVerify<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>#ElectionBureau<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2013<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU<\/strong><\/em>: <em><strong>https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spam, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The lawyer for the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, has dismissed claims made by Boni King Tackie Adama Latse II, who asserts that he is the legitimately enstooled and constitutionally recognized Ga Mantse.
