Abdulai Salidu, owner of the bull dozer hired to demolish structures on the land is assisting the police with investigations, DSP Freeman Tettey, Greater Accra police PRO has confirmed to Joy News.
Three soldiers, hired by one lawyer Charles Owusu supervised the demolishing exercise on Saturday but were said to have been overpowered by land guards on the land.
But for the timely intervention of the police the confrontation would have been bloody.
