A Presiding Judge of the Kwadaso circuit court, has warned against multiple sale of lands, saying persons accused of such acts will be dealt with according to the law.
Jephthah Appau, a Relieving Judge of the Asante Abuakwa circuit court in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality, who gave the warning, reaffirmed the court's decision to fight against multiple sale of lands in the country.
Speaking when a 46-year-old farmer, who has been charged for allegedly granting land without title, appeared before him at the Abuakwa circuit court, Mr Appau, pointed out that, any person accused of multiple sales of land in any of his courts would be dealt with strictly according to the law, to deter others from such wrongful act.
He said granting of a land without title, was not only contrary to section 277 (2A) of the Lands Act 2020, Act 1036, but also disturbed buyers and dented the image of traditional authorities that owned the lands.
