Ten people suspected of working as land guards have been placed in police custody. This decision was made by an Accra Circuit Court.
The group is accused of committing acts of assault. They are also facing charges for grabbing land that does not belong to them.
Court filings show the prosecution presented evidence against the accused individuals. The court considered these details in its decision.
The court ruled that the suspects should remain in police custody. This will allow the police to continue their investigation without interference.
The next court date has been set. This will give the prosecution more time to gather evidence and prepare their case.
Land guard activities have been a recurring problem in some areas. These actions often involve violence and illegal land takeovers.
The Ghana Police Service is working to address these criminal activities. They are seeking to bring perpetrators to justice.
This legal action by the court aims to deter future crimes of this nature. It sends a strong message against land grabbing and associated violence.
