Two individuals have been remanded in police custody by an Accra Circuit Court. They are accused of engaging in illegal land guard activities.
The court heard that the men were also involved in extortion operations. These actions allegedly occurred on land sites.
The police presented evidence to the court. This evidence showed the alleged illegal operations of the two accused men.
The court considered the evidence presented. It decided that the accused should remain in custody while investigations continue.
This court action follows recent efforts to combat land guard activities in Accra. Such groups often use intimidation and force.
Land guards are groups that illegally claim ownership of land or charge fees for protection. This disrupts legitimate land transactions.
The police have stated their commitment to addressing this issue. They aim to ensure public safety and protect property rights.
The case has been adjourned. The accused are expected to appear in court again on a future date for further proceedings.
