Ten land guards terrorising developers in Adjiringanor arrested

The East Legon Police have arrested 10 land guards in Adjiringanor, located within the Adenta Municipal District, seizing cutlasses and other weapons in the process.

The suspects, identified as Harry Otu Hesse (leader of the gang), Khalid Adnam, Tahiru Yakubu, Awudu Salifu, Michael Laryea, Theophlus Mensah, Mustapha Awudu, Kwetey Aryettey, Salilfu Moses and Ibrahim Musah, were taken into custody following a report made by Nuumo Borketey Laweh XXXIII, the Gborbu Wulomo and owner of the land.

On Wednesday, 28 August 2024, he informed the East Legon Police in Accra that land guards were harassing clients on his property in Adjiringanor, which had been sold for development.

These land guards were reportedly disrupting construction by distributing and, at times, confiscating the tools of workers hired to develop the lands. According to one of the clients, the land guards would sometimes threaten the workers, forcing them to leave the sites.

On 28 August 2024, an intelligence-led operation by the East Legon police led to the arrest of the suspects at Adjirigano 69. Following the arrest, authorities discovered cutlass and other materials in the possession of the suspects.

Investigations revealed that the suspects frequently visited the area to seize tools from workers employed by developers to construct houses, using intimidation and threats of violence to drive the workers away.

When reporters visited the East Legon Police Station, the CID unit confirmed the arrest of the 10 suspects, who are currently in police custody.
