Four men have been sent to jail by an Accra Circuit Court. They are accused of being land guards and hurting a landowner.
The court heard that the men used violence. This was allegedly to protect land they claimed was theirs.
The specific details of the alleged assault were not fully revealed in the initial reports.
The Ghana Police Service is investigating the matter further. They are gathering evidence related to the land dispute and the alleged violence.
No pleas were entered at this stage of the proceedings. The court decided to keep the four men in custody for their safety and to allow for more investigation.
This action follows concerns about land guard activities across the country. These groups often use intimidation and force.
The Judicial Service will preside over the next steps in the case. The court will decide if there is enough evidence for a full trial.
Further court dates will be set as the investigation continues.
