Accra police have arrested members of a suspected land guard group. These individuals are accused of terrorizing people who own property. They are also alleged to have been involved in taking land illegally.
The Ghana Police Service stated that the gang operated in Accra, targeting land and property owners in the city. This action follows a period of concern over land guard activities in the region.
Authorities have not yet released the exact number of suspects arrested. Investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of their alleged criminal operations.
Land guards are known to use intimidation and violence to enforce illegal claims on land. This has been a persistent problem in some areas, affecting development and property rights.
The police have assured the public that they are committed to maintaining law and order. They are working to dismantle networks involved in organized crime, including land guard activities.
Those arrested will face charges related to land acquisition offenses and potentially other crimes. The Ghana Police Service has urged citizens to report any suspicious activities or individuals involved in land disputes.
