Chief asks feuding factions to ceasefire

Nii Teye Kojo I, the Chief of Gbetsile, near Ashaiman, has called for peace to prevail between the two feuding factions over a piece of land in the area.

The two factions had clash and four persons sustained serious injuries, which has brought the presence of the police at Gbetsile in the Kpon Katamanso District in the Greater Accra Region, to provide security.

Nii Teye Kojo in an interview with the Ghana News Agency said the fight over the land was unfortunate and shameful since both sides are from the same family.

He said he and his elders are putting measures in place for amicable resolve of the matter and that the disputers should put a stop to the fight.

Nii Teye Kojo said the land in question has been given out by the Stool for development.

He said the dispute by the feuding factions over who is the kingmakers of the community, has led to misunderstanding.

He expressed worry over the rampant land disputes in the area as well as land guards who attack innocent people and rob them.

The chief called on the police to step up surveillance to flush out criminals in the vicinity for residents to have safety.
