Management of the Laboma Beach Resort, venue to one of the biggest events of the December rave has assured patrons the event is still coming on as scheduled, despite rumours they may have heard.
The urban music festival slated between December 27th to 30th will see a host of some of Africa’s biggest musicians performing at the event,
The assurance from management of the resort comes after Real estate developers Wonda World Properties Ltd. filed a writ on December 20, 2019, seeking an interlocutory injunction against La Bone Mambii Association, Afro Nation Ghana Limited and Rave Marketing Solutions Limited respectively.
La Bone Mambii Association (LABOMA) is an association of Labadi youth responsible for the preservation of Laboma Beach Resort
Wonda World Properties Ltd. is asserting Laboma is encroaching on their portion of the beachfront through the hosting of the Afro Nation event.
News of this has left many patrons of the event and the general public confused on the state of one of the country’s biggest event of the year.
Management of the beach resort has in a statement signed by its Chairman, Daniel Okpoti, described the rumors as “wrongfully allude ownership of the entire beachfront to Wonda World when the claim in their filing is only a small portion of this important asset.”
They further insisted; “The AfroNation Ghana will be held on lands been owned by the aforementioned families [Nii Okpoti Awele from Nmati family] for decades and will continue to remain so.”
“Any attempt to undermine such an important international event, which has been recognized by President’s brilliant and hugely successful Year of Return initiative, is deplorable and shameful,” the statement concluded.
Laboma went ahead to encourage all patrons to continue preparations towards the event, saying; “We therefore unequivocally reassure all stakeholders, including tickets holders, organizers and groups attending the #AfroNationGhana, that the event has our complete backing and support,” the statement added.
The music festival was founded by Adesegun Adeosun of Smade Entertainment and his partner Obi Asika.
