  "account": "Mubarick Masawudu, the Deputy Director-General of the Ghana Maritime Authority (GMA), has categorically denied any alleged connections to land guards involved in a land dispute at Spintex. Through his legal representatives, LIMO@LAW, Mr Masawudu stated unequivocally that he is \"not a party to, nor in any way connected with,\" the dispute. The legal team emphasized that the publication alleging his involvement was false and had caused significant public opprobrium, ridicule, and hostility towards their client. They are demanding an unequivocal retraction and apology from the publication, with the same prominence as the original report, within a week. Failure to comply, according to the lawyers, would result in legal action.",
