According to Pastor Kelvin, Bernard Bediako Baidoo allegedly orchestrated a grand scheme to sell the properties and land of a company, Air Real Estate Company Limited.

The pastor alleged that the MP forged documents to win a case in court, allowing him to sell the properties.

He further accused the NDC MP of using a non-existent identity and business transaction to gain access to the said lands and properties.

Speaking in a video shared on Facebook, Pastor Kelvin alleged, saying, “From police findings, Bernard Bediako Baidoo is the brain behind the whole thing. (He) created a transaction that doesn’t exist. Filed a writ in court through Amoaku Adjei’s chambers. Executed the writ and got judgment, and then executed the auction.

“Look at the property there. He sold 14 of these, 14 of these. That’s not the entire thing, so there was bare land of about 8.2 acres, which we haven’t gotten to yet. We are dealing with these properties first,” the pastor said.

He further alleged, “So the case here is that simple. The case is number one. Augustine Ampofo Bediako cannot be found, and also had no transaction at all with Air Real Estate Limited, nor did any worker of Air Real Estate Limited ever know him?

“As we speak, nothing like that. Nobody knew him. Access Bank says he made no payment into any account that we know is associated with Air Real Estate Limited. These are your statements.

So a transaction that never existed, that never happened, is what Bernard Bediako Baidoo created only because he wanted to sell off our properties because at that he knew our hands were changed.

Sold the property out of fraud and had the confidence. A lawyer, a competent lawyer, had the confidence to go and lie to the court with this kind of attitude, this, my goodness, and won the case and executed the transaction,” he claimed.

However, reacting to the allegations, in a video shared on social media, the MP said that the allegations made against him were completely false.

According to Bernard Bediako Baidoo, although he worked at the law firm that handled the said case, he was never involved in it.

He detailed that the case was handled by a senior lawyer at the law firm.

Speaking in a viral video, Bernard Bediako Baidoo stated, “This is not an issue I’m going to waste my time on. It is simple. First of all, it is not true that I was the lawyer of Augustine and I was the person who scammed and took everything to court… in this particular case, I was not the lawyer on record.

“If Kwesi Kubiri says he has any document that shows that I was the lawyer of Augustine Ampofo, he should publish it so that the good people of Ghana would see it. There is nothing like that,” he said.

Bernard Bediako Baidoo argued that the pastor even confronted his senior, who worked on the case, and he defended it.

According to the MP, he does not know why he is being attacked now because he wasn’t involved in the case.
