P & P

Landlord impregnates tenant?s daughter

The P & P in an inside page human interest story, says the three year period that an Accra landlord shared love with his tenant?s 18-year-old daughter brought them exquisite happiness.

However, says the paper, the relationship turned sour at the beginning of this year, culminating in a legal battle. According to the P & P, now an Accra Circuit Court will soon hear the case in which the daughter, Maureen Somuah, has filed a suit against Mr Mark Pappoe, 47, for refusing to honour his promise to marry her and for failing to bequeath one of his houses to her. In addition, Pappoe is to pay 15 million cedis as compensation for making her pregnant and thus disrupting her education.
