Police have arrested a group of people in the Greater Accra Region. These individuals were reportedly working as fake land guards.
The suspects are accused of using fake documents. They allegedly tried to get money from people who owned land or property.
The Ghana Police Service confirmed the arrests. The operation took place following reports of fraudulent activities.
These fake land guards presented themselves as official enforcers. They threatened property owners and demanded payments.
The forged documents were used to make their threats seem real. This created fear and forced victims to pay money.
Authorities are now investigating the full extent of their operations. They are gathering evidence and interviewing victims.
The Ghana Police Service stated that this action is part of efforts to curb land guard activities. Such activities often lead to violence and disputes.
The police are urging the public to be vigilant. They advise verifying the authenticity of any individuals claiming to be land guards.
