The Accra Regional Police Command on Wednesday September 18 arrested six fully-armed land guards who severely brutalised thirteen workers of Elite Kingdom Investment and Consulting Ltd at Saasabi near Oyibi in the Ga East Municipality, Greater Accra Region. The police also found an assortment of weapons including four pump-action guns, one SMG rifle, two magazines of bullets, sixty-two live ammunitions, one hundred and eighty-two live cartridges and three machetes. The six land-guards arrested are Seth Nortey, 29; Timothy Mensah, 32; George Agyemang, 30; Elvis Tetteh, 24; Simon Tetteh, 50, and; Nicholas Mensah, 32. Briefing the media in Accra on Wednesday, the Greater Accra Regional Police Commander, DCOP Christian Tetteh Yohuno, said the police received several complaints via telephone from the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Elite Kingdom, Dr Robert Kwao Djamba that ten armed land guards had attacked thirteen of his workers on the company's plot of land at Saasabi on Tuesday, September 17,2013. According to Dr Djamba, his workers were erecting a fence wall around the said plot of land when they were attacked by the indiscriminately-shooting land guards, DCOP Yohuno explained, adding that Dr. Djamba believed the land guards may have come from Apolonia, also near Oyibi. The Regional Police Command swiftly dispatched two patrol teams to the scene of the incident and finding some of the suspected land guards on the scene arrested them. A consequent search uncovered the impounded weapons and ammunition. DCOP Tetteh Yuhuno stated that after the suspected land guards were brought to the Accra Regional Police Command. “It was later brought to the notice of the Police that the said land guards were earlier reported to the [Tema Police] that their parcels of land were being encroached upon by the workers” of the Elite Kingdom Investment and Consulting Limited,” he indicated. “The land guards forccd the thirteen workers of the company [Elite Kingdom Investment and Consulting Limited] into its truck and drove them to Tema Habour Police Station,” DCOP Tetteh Yohuno told the media. DCOP Yohuno observed that land guards were flourishing, bccause they are, believably, getting a lot of support from some chiefs, and explained that when land guards get support from people who are respected in society, they (the land guards) tend to act with impunity. He condemned the attitude of such chiefs who, he said, arc hampering the work of the police by shielding these suspected land guards.
