The Accra regional police command has detained several armed land guards purported to be part of the gang terrorizing the Trasaco area.
The arrest followed reports of the violence against construction workers of empire builders by some land guards.
Top kings and empire builders are embroiled in a land dispute over some parcels of land at Trasaco.
Even though the supreme court has resolved the 20-year-old issue, the ownership dispute continues leading to armed land guards taken over the area.
The armed land guards including some in military uniform, continue to harass and terrorize especially workers of empire builders.
On Tuesday January 31, the workers of empire builders petitioned the president to intervene in the impasse.
Few days later the armed land guards went into action again, brutalized the workers of empire builders, burnt their vehicles and pulled down their structures amidst sporadic shooting.
The victims want national security to investigate the incident and to bring the perpetrators to book.
Meanwhile, the Accra regional police command detained the armed land guards who are said to be part of the gang terrorizing the Trasaco area.
Among those arrested is a supposed military man with a weapon.
The suspects are currently assisting the police with their investigations.
