Two communities battle over piece of land

Tension is high in Krokrobite as the people threaten to use all means possible to defend themselves against the people of Nyanyano.

The two neighbouring communities are in litigation over a stretch of land situated on the boundary between the Greater Accra and Central regions of Ghana.

The chiefs and people of Kokrobite are angry following an attack by Nyanyano last month, which led to the destruction of several buildings and valuables.

The claim of ownership of a 40 acre territory along the beach by both sides led to the demolition of 30 well developed and completed structures.

The people of Kokrobite are now threatening to retaliate if government fails to step in. Its youth are ready for battle and have mobilized friends and family from surrounding communities to launch the attack.

They are demanding justice in addition to compensation for the demolished properties estimated at more than 15 billion Ghana cedis.

Long standing legal battles have produced different results for either side in the conflict with the people of Nyanyano claiming victory in the latest ruling. But inhabitants of Kokrobite are not enthused about it.

The confusion has probably come about due to the demarcation of the boundary between the Greater Accra and Central Regions.

While the lands are located in the Greater Accra region, it is the Gomoa East District Assembly that overseas development there, a major recipe for chaos in the area.

But the Chief of the area Nii Arde Nkpa says he will do his best to restrain the people from attacking Nyanyano while they await government’s intervention.
