Police tighten security at Prampram

Police in Prampram have asked the Chief of Ningo, Nene Otuaboah Agbi II and his elders who have fled the town to return home.

They fled the town to escape attacks from men they suspect to be land guards The gun-wielding men were said to have taken over lands in the area and selling them at exorbitant prices.

The Ningo-Prampram area has become attractive following government’s plans to build a new international airport there.

The chief and his elders who could not withstand the might of the land guards are currently seeking refuge at a hideout here in Accra.

But crime officer for the Ningo-Prampram area ASP Abdulai Kamagatey told Joy News the safety of the chief and his elders are guaranteed and called on them to return.

What I know is that the whole area has problems with land disputes and they have issues in court.

There is no way we will sit down for anybody to harass anybody for him to vacate his premises,” he said.

He said they have dispatched men to ensure their safety.
