The late Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, aka Sir John, listed over 60 properties in his will, which he bequeathed to his children, sisters, and a chunk of them to his nephews.
Sir John’s will has become the talk of the town following the quantum of properties and wealth he amassed during his time as a lawyer and politician.
From having properties in the Achimota Forest to owning a plot of land at the Ramsar site coupled with foreign bank accounts, houses, cars and even guns, his will has raised several eyebrows.
