A land dispute in Kasoa Millennium City escalated into a deadly confrontation, taking the life of a valiant military officer in his prime.
Amidst the unfolding drama, a sub-chief unleashed gunfire upon two officers outside the district police station, narrowly sparing their lives but leaving a haunting aftermath.
The genesis of this tragic saga lies in a protracted legal skirmish over property rights, with reports indicating that a parcel of land was procured by the deceased officer’s brother on their behalf.
However, their aspirations for cultivation were persistently thwarted by a gang purportedly led by a land guard, plunging them into a vortex of conflict and uncertainty.
Venturing to the contested terrain in hopes of mediating the dispute, the officer and his companions were met with the jarring reality of ongoing construction by another party, fueling tensions despite their earnest efforts to defuse the situation and seek police intervention.
In a grievous turn of events, the officers’ quest for justice took a deadly turn as they sought recourse from higher authorities, only to be met with resistance from the sub-chief, culminating in a fateful exchange of gunfire that claimed one life and left others teetering on the brink of tragedy.
Amidst the chaos, Kofi Asmah, proprietor of the 21st Century Construction Company embroiled in the dispute, has levelled damning accusations of corruption against the local police, underscoring the urgent need for a reckoning in the pursuit of justice and peace.
