Arrest “notorious” land guards terrorising land owners – Ayeh-Paye to Police

Samuel Ayeh-Paye, the former Member of Parliament for Ayensuano, has expressed concerns about the escalating activities of land guards which have resulted in loss of lives over land disputes.

In an interview with Selorm Adonoo, the former MP compared the activities of land guards to those of armed robbers who steal and murder their victims, urging the Ghana Police to promptly arrest notorious land guards.

Ayeh-Paye described the issues with land guards in the country as “disturbing”.

“Land guards and land issues in Ghana are very disturbing to people who want to have a place of abode or trying to build?

This issue about land guards can be handled, the security agencies should team up with the chiefs and landowners to stop it, and we can easily stop it?

He urged stakeholders in the land acquisition space to find a permanent solution to the issues plaguing the sector.

“It is an issue I’m of the view that all the stakeholders in land acquisition should come together and find a lasting solution to the land guards’ issues,” he opined.
