something about my life and inheritance. My late father deposited some huge
amounts of money ($10.5 million) in a finance and security company here in
Accra-Ghana for safe keeping, he got the money from his businesses he
exported cocoa and also sold Gold, before the outbreak of the crisis in my
region before he was shot along with my mother and sister who died
immediately and he died three(3) days later. On deposit to the company he
declared the content of the cosignment as family treasuries so even the
security company does not know that content of the box is money.
