According to him, the businessman, Alhaji Agyaa, was compelled to lock up his exotic and luxurious car in a specially made metallic garage to save it from being seized by the late ex-president.

“For those who grew in BA [the then Brong Ahafo Region], this man was very rich and popular in the 1970-80s. He was the only millionaire who could acquire this Mercedes in the early 80s when JJ Rawlings was Military leader. Rawlings wanted to seize the car so the man-made a special metal garage to hide the car," Saddick Adams revealed on Twitter.

He further disclosed that the garage was forced open after over 35 years, adding that the car in question was popular in the neighbourhood where Alhaji Agyaa lived and everyone made attempts to catch a glimpse of it.

"This car used to be the talk of the town in Techiman. Saw this on Anas Sabit Facebook.

"Alhaji Agyaa was his name. The car was popularly called “Alhaji Agyaa Benz,” he wrote.
