“Ablakwa’s two properties in America uncovered” – Paul Adom Otchere alleges

Broadcast journalist and host of Good Evening Ghana, Paul Adom-Otchere, has alleged that court records have exposed two properties in the United States purportedly associated with Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister and Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.

In a publication shared on the Good Evening Ghana Facebook page, Adom-Otchere suggested that documents from a court proceeding had identified two American properties linked to the minister. However, he did not provide information about the properties’ locations, their estimated values or the specific legal records on which his allegation was based.

The journalist’s post stated: “In other news, Ablakwa’s two properties in America uncovered in court documents.”

The allegation has generated widespread reactions and discussions across social media, particularly because of Ablakwa’s previous comments about his personal property ownership during his parliamentary vetting in 2025.

While appearing before Parliament’s Appointments Committee, the minister reportedly stated under oath that the only house he owned was situated in the North Tongu Constituency. He also clarified that the property he previously occupied in the Airport Residential Area was a rented apartment.

Following Adom-Otchere’s publication, some social media users demanded that the journalist release the court documents to establish the authenticity of his claims. Others questioned the circumstances under which the minister allegedly acquired the properties, particularly in relation to his years in public service.

However, some commentators defended Ablakwa, suggesting that the allegation could be an attempt to undermine his reputation and distract public attention from his responsibilities as Foreign Affairs Minister.

As of the time of the report, Ablakwa had not issued a public response to the allegation. Furthermore, the alleged court documents had not been released publicly, meaning the claims remain unverified.
