Mallam residents court security support to conserve landfill

In that regard, the residents are calling for a joint operation involving the Ghana Police Service, National Security, environmental authorities and, where necessary, the Ghana Armed Forces to restore public control over the area and halt the illegal activities.

Residents of Mallam in the Weija Gbawe Municipality of the Greater Accra Region have appealed to the Ghana Armed Forces and other state security agencies to intervene to halt the activities of heavily armed land guards protecting an illegal landfill site in the municipality.

The residents said attempts by public officials to halt the dumping had been thwarted by armed men believed to be land guards, creating fear and insecurity within the community.
