Five Suspected Landguards Arrested For Allegedly Encroaching On GSA Lands

Five suspected landguards have been arrested by the police for allegedly encroaching on lands belonging to the Ghana Standards Authority and Regimanuel Estate.

The arrests follow a visit to the sites by members of the Greater Accra Regional Security Council (REGSEC), who responded to petitions about ongoing landguard activities and encroachments.

Chairman of the Greater Accra Regional Security Council, Daniel Titus-Glover, addressed the media after the arrests in Accra on Friday, pledging to restore order in the capital and deal decisively with individuals involved in such illegal activities.

“We are in a country of law, not in a jungle. So REGSEC decided to come here to see things for ourselves. Fortunately for us, some of the suspects are here. We’ve picked them, we are taking them to the police and ask them a few questions, then the law will continue.

“…REGSEC, we are here to sanitise the region. We don’t want any ‘landguardism,’ any sort of miscreants that will try to disturb the peace and by so doing, our prayer is that everybody is at peace”, he stated.
