However, it is suspected that a young man who had issued several threats on Nii may have had a hand in his demise.

Who is Nii Adotey?

Nii Adotey, before his passing, was a self-styled land dealer. He was an executive at Afro-Arab Properties, a real estate development agency with brand ambassadors like Shatta Bandle and sold land to many, including famous personalities.

However, he was recently involved in a land dispute with a young man identified as Shamanky Junior, who used to be a friend, over an East Legon land belonging to US-based Ghanaian socialite Ayisha Modi.

The rift between the two intensified to a point where the Ghana Police Service got involved, especially after they engaged in a shootout at the A and C mall in Accra.

Before his demise, Nii Adotey reportedly left a note in his room. In the note dated May 15, 2025, he wrote that his life was in danger.

He opened up about how Shamanky had issued various threats on his life. Days later, he was reported dead.

"My life is in danger, and I can't take it anymore. For the past two days, Shamaki has been posting threats and lies about me. The only issue I have with him is the Aisha Modi land, the note read."

Reports indicate that Shamanky, who is currently out of the country, made some unsavory remarks about the passing of Nii Adotey.

Meanwhile, the Sempe Stool has yet to make any remarks about the passing of their beloved son.

The police have yet to release a statement sharing details on the passing of the businessman.

Nii Adotey's philanthropic work

Noble Nii Adotey was admired by many for his philanthropy. His notable philanthropic work was in September 2024, where he partnered with Ebenezer Addo, another businessman, to donate 100 bags of cement and an undisclosed amount of money to the Sempe Traditional Council. The kind gesture was to aid in supporting the reconstruction of the Sempe King’s Palace.

In a recent interview, as reported by popular social media platform Ablade TV, Noble Nii Adotey opened up on his commitment to supporting and uplifting the Ga youth by providing opportunities for them.

“I’m bringing job opportunities to the Ga State, so anyone with experience in building and construction should contact me. The development, sanity, and improvement we want for the Ga State will be realised Long live Ga-Dangme and long live the chiefs and elders of the State”, he said.
