Deaconess Rebecca Naakai Odai-Mensah

Deaconess Rebecca Naakai Odai-Mensah, a respected member of the Presbyterian Church’s Nungua branch, is facing serious allegations of land fraud, according to claims made by a disgruntled buyer. The controversy centers on an alleged case of land double-selling involving a substantial sum of GHS130,000.00.

Rebecca, who is also the proprietor of Gentle Step along Spintex Road, is accused of defrauding Benjamin Oteng, a local businessman, by selling the same piece of land to multiple buyers. Oteng has reported that he paid GHS130,000.00 for the land, only to discover that it had been resold to another buyer.

Oteng claims that despite receiving a receipt for his payment, he was only refunded GHS80,000.00 of the GHS130,000.00 he initially provided. The remaining GHS50,000.00, according to Oteng, has not been returned, and his numerous attempts to contact Rebecca have proven futile.

“Rebecca’s actions have not only left me financially strained but also deeply disappointed,” Oteng stated. “I trusted her as a church leader and now feel utterly betrayed.”

The Hawk’s efforts to reach Deaconess Rebecca for comment have been unsuccessful. Multiple calls, texts, and WhatsApp messages sent since Thursday, May 9, 2024, have not elicited any response from her. The silence has only added to the growing frustration and suspicion surrounding the case.

The allegations have raised concerns within the community and the Presbyterian Church, calling into question the integrity of one of its members. As the story unfolds, the church leadership will need to address the situation transparently to maintain trust among its congregation and the public.

The Nungua police have been alerted, and an investigation is reportedly underway. As the legal and community response develops, the case highlights the pressing need for vigilance and transparency in property transactions to prevent such distressing incidents.

The Hawk will continue to follow this developing story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
