A court judgment has paved the way for the burial of Nana Barima Kofi Adjei Twinin, a prominent Ghanaian business mogul, ending a five-year legal battle. The ruling resolves a protracted family dispute that had delayed funeral arrangements for the late CEO of Mac Dic Royal Plaza Hotel since his passing in 2021. The decision effectively concludes the disagreements among family members regarding his estate and properties, which had previously blocked the performance of his final funeral rites.
Nana Twinin, who also served as the National President of the Ghana Hotels Association, died following a short illness half a decade ago. However, the subsequent years were marked by intense legal proceedings as relatives clashed over the management and distribution of his assets. These internal conflicts necessitated judicial intervention to clarify the administrative and burial arrangements, ensuring that the legacy of the hospitality industry leader could be properly honored according to the law.
With the legal barriers now removed, the family is set to proceed with the organization of the burial and traditional funeral ceremonies. As the founder of the well-known Mac Dic Royal Plaza Hotel and a significant figure in Ghana's private sector, Nana Twinin's final farewell is expected to draw substantial attention from the business community and industry peers. The resolution of this case marks the end of a difficult period for the bereaved family, allowing them to finally lay the former association president to rest.
