Residents of Osu have embarked on a peaceful demonstration calling for a halt to the illegal sale of portions of the Achimota Forest. Speaking to GH One TV on Monday, August 12, 2024, the Dzaase Asafoatse of Osu, Nii Tempong Sarpei III, lamented the rampant sale of lands in the Achimota forest to certain individuals.
According to him, several properties belonging to the Osu traditional area and communities have been sold to private developers, an action he believes must be protested. This action was necessitated after some plots of land were seen being graded with heavy equipment by some individuals. He, however, disclosed that a petition has been presented to the forestry commission to address their grievances.
"This morning, we are here about Achimota Forest... Today the Dzaase Asafoatse and Asafo people are here to make sure we put things in order.
