Armaahman Chief Accuses Greater Accra Police Boss of Orchestrating Attack on His People Over Disputed Land


The Chief of Armaahman and Acting President of Ngleshie Alata, Nii Armaah Kwafio II, has called on the newly appointed Inspector General of Police (IGP), COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno, to investigate alleged police-backed attacks on his people over a land dispute.

Speaking at a press conference, Nii Armaah Kwafio II accused the Greater Accra Regional Police Commander, Mr. Arhin, of using uniformed police officers and land guards to attack and brutalize residents of Armaahman. The land in dispute is located between Armaahman and Ashifla in the Ga South District of the Greater Accra Region.

According to the Chief, this is not the first time the Regional Commander has been linked to such incidents. He recalled a similar attack in the James Town Traditional Council area, where land guards, allegedly supported by police officers, stormed the palace, leading to the death of the Ngleshie Alata Chief Priest.

He revealed that after a court ruled in favor of his family earlier this year, land guards attacked his people. “One of my children went to the land and has not returned home,” he lamented.

Nii Armaah Kwafio II warned that if the IGP and other security agencies fail to act, the people of Armaahman may be forced to defend themselves. He also accused police officers of watching as land guards brutalized victims, only to later dump them at a nearby clinic instead of making arrests.

He urged the IGP to urgently investigate the matter and ensure justice before the situation escalates further. “If you are unhappy with a court ruling, the right step is to appeal, not to use police and land guards to attack those in whose favor the judgment was made,” he stated.

Chieftaincy Crisis: Ngleshie Alata Chiefs Reject Imposed Mantse

The Ngleshie Alata Traditional Council has strongly condemned the recent induction of Prince Asharku-Bruce Quaye, also known as Oblempong Wetse Kojo II, as the Ngleshie Alata Mantse. Speaking on behalf of the council, Nii Ofei III, Divisional Chief of Kokrobitey, alleged that the induction was carried out unlawfully by the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs without the knowledge or involvement of the traditional council. According to Nii Ofei III, the process of installing a chief follows clear constitutional and customary guidelines, which were blatantly disregarded in this case. He accused the registrar of the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs and its president, Oboade Notse King Professor Odaifio Welentsi III, of collaborating to impose Prince Asharku-Bruce Quaye on the traditional council. “This induction was conducted in secrecy. We only became aware of it after a letter circulated about a meeting between the Greater Accra Regional Minister and the Regional House of Chief...

Royal Jamong Family Raises Alarm Over Alleged Political Interference in Bunkpurugu Chieftaincy Dispute

The Royal Jamong Family of Bunkpurugu has expressed deep concern over what it describes as political interference by Vice President Dr. Mahamud Bawumia and the NPP parliamentary candidate for Bunkpurugu, Mr. Solomon N. Boar, in the ongoing chieftaincy dispute surrounding the Bunkpurugu skin. In a strongly-worded statement, the family accused the two politicians of exerting undue pressure on the National House of Chiefs, a move that they believe undermines the integrity of the chieftaincy institution. The family pointed to recent comments made by Abuba, who claimed that his uncle, Vice President Bawumia, had promised to ensure that a pending judgment in the chieftaincy case would be delayed indefinitely. This, the Royal Jamong Family warned, is a "sad development and a recipe for disaster." The family has also documented Mr. Boar's activities, including a recent trip to Accra with Abuba to meet the Vice President. This has led the family to question the motivations behind ...
