Dr. Asenso Gyambibi, owner of the five-bedroom apartment at Ashongman Estates A-Line, allegedly used as an office for a group of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or questioners (LGBTQ), says the tenant violated the agreement by convert to space for LGBTQ related activities.
He said that an Alex Kofi Donkor, rented the apartment only as a resident and that it was illegal for him to turn it into a meeting place and declared his determination to take back the apartment.
Dr. Gyambibi said that he rented the apartment to Donkor two months ago for a year at ¢ 1,500 GH per month after Donkor told him that he was working with a non-governmental organization (NGO) in health promotion.
He said that around 1100 hours on Tuesday, February 23, 2021, he received WhatsApp messages with images of some activities that had taken place at his residence related to the LGBTQ practice.
Dr. Gyambibi said that after some checks, he called National Security, the Ghana Police Service (GPS) and other security agencies to help shut down the site and investigate the allegation.
“I spoke with Mr. Donkor twice this morning to tell me that he would be here at 09:30. When we arrived, we honked several times, but he was slow to come to open the door, so we went in. The gates and doors were not closed and we realized that there were people inside, but they had left before we entered, so the police began their investigations.
We even saw a plate of food on the table, which means they were there, but when they saw that I was in the company of the Police, they left.
“They broke the lease even more by painting the place without my consent and I want them off the site. My lawyers are also willing to accept them. For now, I’m going to lock up the place and not rent it. I myself had never met him; it was through my agent that I rented it to him. The Police will continue with their investigations, but for me, the civil aspect is what matters to me, ”he said.
