In a radio interview on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, on Okay FM, he denied owning any of the luxury apartments attributed to him. He stressed that he had no connections whatsoever to the properties.

He said the report about him is inaccurate and has since referred the matter to his lawyers.

However, Inusah Fuseini refused to disclose to Okay FM whether he had properties in Dubai.

The former MP for Tamale Central insisted that his lawyers are investigating the claim and, therefore, is not at liberty to provide further information.

However, he is confident the allegations being levelled against him are an attempt by the ruling government to divert attention from its failings as the 2024 elections draw near.

He noted that the allegations could potentially ruin his reputation and has thus urged the general public to be patient.
