Chief of Adubinsukese denies using landguards to intimidate residents

Nana Akwasi Asiedu, the Chief of Adubinsukese in Ghana's Ashanti Region, has categorically denied allegations of employing landguards to intimidate residents, particularly those working on housing projects.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday, September 23, 2024, the Adubinsukese Hene dismissed the claims as "a big lie," stressing that he does not use landguards and has never forced anyone off their land. Instead, Asiedu clarified that he employs palace guards who assist people in locating plots of land.

He further noted that, for the sake of transparency, he has introduced these palace guards to the Afigya Kwabere Municipal Assembly.

"I strongly deny allegations of using landguards to intimidate or chase people away. The truth is, I don’t have landguards and I’ve never chased anyone away with them. I employ palace guards who assist individuals in locating plots of land, and I've even introduced them to the Afigya Kwabere Municipal Assembly for transparency and accountability."

Asiedu described himself as a man of peace, committed to preserving harmony in his community. He assured the residents of Adubinsukese that they could expect a peaceful reign under his leadership, urging them to support him in securing smooth development for the community.

However, the chief issued a stern warning to individuals illegally building on plots of land, advising them to stop their activities and seek proper legal documentation through his office.
