The La Traditional Coun­cil has warned encroach­ers at Laboma Beach and in the Kpeshie Lagoon areas to stay off those sites.

The La Shiketele (King­maker), Nii Adjei Koofeh IV, who issued the warning last Friday, indicated that none of the developers had title or the authority from the land owners or permits from the assembly to embark on any developments there. "All those developing at Laboma Beach and in the Kpe­shie Lagoon areas are encroach­ers in the sight of the law and before the traditional council because they do not have permit to undertake any development there," he warned.

Nii Koofeh IV and a team from the council accompa­nied by members from the La Dade-Kotopon Municipal As­sembly (LaDMA), La Dade-Ko­topon Development Trust and the La Dade-Kotopon MUSEC visited these areas to assess the level of encroachment.

He tasked the La Dade-Koto­pon Municipal Security Council and the assembly to enforce regular monitoring and inspection exercise to ward off or arrest anyone found there.
