Former Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourist Development Company (GTDC), Miss Akua Djanie, popularly known as Blakofe, has accused her father’s family of seizing his properties and physically assaulting her at his residence in Asamankese in the Eastern Region.

Blakofe, whose late father, Nana Amanfo, was the Sanaahene of Asamankese until his passing in 2017, revealed that since his death, members of his family have taken control of his assets and prevented her from accessing his private residence.

In a Facebook post, she recounted a harrowing experience in which she was allegedly attacked by five male relatives while others encouraged the assault. The altercation reportedly occurred when she attempted to visit her late father’s home, which has now been converted into what the family calls the Sanaahene Palace.

Blakofe claimed the men tried to snatch her handbag containing keys to the property and locked the gates to prevent her from leaving. She managed to escape and sought refuge at the police station, where the matter has since been reported.

“What pains me is they chose five males to physically assault me,” she wrote. “Even if a first-born daughter can’t enter her dad’s house, does the law say assault them or hold them hostage?”

According to her, she remains deeply hurt by the incident but is determined to pursue justice despite fears of local bias, as she believes her father’s family has close ties with the Asamankese police.

The case is currently under police investigation.

My dad's Akyem family did this to me. Apparently, as the first born daughter I'm not allowed in my dad's private residence! It apparently belongs to his nephews and is now the official Sanaahene Palace of Asamankese ooooo. So, about 20 or so family members gathered and 5 MALES circled me, assaulted me, tried to snatch my handbag for my dad's house keys, locked the gates so I couldn't leave, all the while the others were egging them on to beat and even kill me. I jumped over the inner gate then crouched out the outer gate & run to the police station. It's now a police matter. What pains me is they chose 5 MALES to physically assault me. Why not my female cousins? They were busy barking kill her. Beat her. Even if a first born daughter can't enter her dad's house because her mum is Mossi & GaDange, I didn't know the law says physically assault them, hold them hostage, lock the gate so they can't drive out, threaten to beat & kill their friend, and confiscate their car. It took the intervention of police to get my car back. Another painful thing though is my family know the Asamankese police. They live with them. I don't. The case goes on. No matter what anyone says about access to my dad's house, physical assault is a crime, holding me hostage is a crime, trying to snatch my handbag is a crime, shouting beat & kill my friend and I is a crime. I don't know or live with the Asamankese police and court people, but I truly hope the right thing will be done. We can deal with the fake Will but this is another thing altogether. I'm ok. Just pissed off that my family are so weak, they need 5 MALES to fight me for my dad's private residence. Instead of us to unite and use his money and name to build his legacy and generational wealth, his so-called son John Manfo wasted the money on Isaac Dogbe and other boxers.  Now nephews are selling cocoa farms and all sorts to eat fufu today. They don't even go to weed his grave or do anything to uphold his great name. Shameful. Nana Manfo, see what your nephews did to me at our Asamankese home.
