An employee attached to the Berbice Land Registry was arrested and placed on “self bail” for allegedly forging the signature of attorney, Adrian Anamayah on a document for the “transfer of title.”
Anamayah said that the employee’s plan fell through after he requested that a clerk attached to his chambers sign as a witness on the document.
He told Stabroek News that after examining the document his clerk observed that the signature was not his and that it did not come from his chambers. She immediately telephoned him but by then the employee had taken the document back from her.
According to Anamayah his clerk checked with the cashier and discovered that the persons had paid $4730 to file the document. He said the clerk subsequently cancelled the receipt even though there are procedures to do so through the court.
