An alleged will of the late Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Forestry Commission, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, popularly known as Sir John, has set Ghanaian social media on fire.
Ghanaians, especially on Twitter, have been drawn on the contents of the will since it was leaked late last night.
Most of them have expressed their displeasure about some portions of the Achimota Forest and the Ramsar Site at Sakumono to members of Sir John’s family.
Page 4 of the will, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, whose office was situated at the Achimota Forest until his death, stated that
“I give my land situated at the Achimota Forest in the name of Jakaypro Limited and measuring 5.541 acres to the following persons forever.
Below are some tweets of Ghanaians expressing their anger at the apparent abuse of state lands.

What we have to understand is that the politicians have shared the forest amongst themselves including Sir John. They intentionally brought that thing up to cover up E-levy. They will soon bring another thing up to cover this scandal. We must stand up as a country

Sir John’s will exposes how corrupt the NPP government led by Nana Addo and Bawumia are. It’s unbelievable how they have decide to loot and share when the country goes thorough the worst hardship since the inception of the fourth republic. Ghanaians need change.

If this is Sir John’s Will then I better stop this midnight coding and designing thing to join politics.
At least, I can talk very well and probably can do early morning lies/propaganda on TV.
The day the poor will rise — oin 😭

One thing is clear from this Sir John’s Will.
No politician is worth dying for. They’re all the same and none of them gives a f**k about your plight.
When you have an opportunity to work, focus on it.
We’ll make it 👊🏽
