The Ghana Police Service has launched a major operation against land guards in Accra. This action is in response to rising concerns about land disputes and associated violence.
Several arrests have been made in different parts of the capital as part of this intensified crackdown. These operations are ongoing.
Police officials stated that the goal is to bring peace to communities affected by the activities of land guards. They want to ensure people can conduct their land transactions without fear.
Land guards are known to intimidate or attack individuals involved in land ownership and development. This often leads to violent confrontations.
The police service is committed to ensuring the rule of law prevails in all land matters. They urge the public to report any suspicious activities.
Further investigations are underway following the arrests. The names of those arrested have not been released.
This move is expected to have a positive impact on property security and reduce the number of land disputes turning violent.
