Land guards attack and burn office at Ashalaja

It is reported that some men suspected to be land guards have stormed the Nii Akwanor Royal Family Land Secretariat offices at Ashalaja in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region and set them on fire.

The men numbering about 20 inflicted cutlass wounds on two people who were part of workers at the office.

Speaking to the media, one of the injured Hajia Alima Saidu said she was chased with weapons and while escaping, one of them hit her with a concrete block.

Hajia Alima said she is traumatized.

The Atofohene of Ashalaja Nii Kadri Osumanu said the perpetrators burnt everything in the office.

He has therefore called on the IGP to intervene and bring the perpetrators to book.

Nii Abbey Akanfra who is in charge of the Akwanor Royal Family Secretariat also expressed shock and called on the Ghana Police administration to investigate the matter.

He said the perpetrators were captured on a CCTV camera which he believes will aid the investigation.
