There is mounting tension
at Bomso Sasa near Kumasi as factional tradition traditional leaders knock
heads over a long standing dispute over land ownership.
The deployment of land
guards by opposing forces is said to be heightening fears of a possible clash
in the area.
Residents in the community
say the situation is worsening by the day.
Chief of Buoho Sasa, Nana
Akoto Osei has accused the Community head (or Odikro) of flouted directives by
the District Security Council compelling both parties to stay off the land.
The chief also alleged a
private developer known in the area as “Off Twum” has been engage in acts of
terrorism and disturbing the peace of the area.
He wants the Odikro, Kofi
Krah to be called to order to avert any possible reprisal attacks.
The Odikro, Kofi Krah has
described the chief’s allegations as unwarranted. According to him, the Asantehene
has setup a committee to look into the matter and will therefore not counter
the chief.
Effigya-Kwabre District
Chief Executive, Mr. Oppong-KyekyeKu says the DISEC have been meeting the two
factions to finding lasting solution to what he describes as a “generational
unresolved dispute”.
He hinted the Council will
issue an official statement on the issue but assured residents of maximum
security.
