“We were just rudely told [Tuesday] afternoon, when the district court went to sit and work men were all over the place; when the Registrar came and informed us that they have information that the place has been reallocated to SADA [ Savanah Accelerated Development Authority] by the regional coordinating council” an assistant State Attorney, Saeed Abdul Shakur, told Accra-based Joy FM.
