The Mankrado of Fetteh Kakraba, Nana Yaw Kwadromanu, has issued a firm warning to landguards, cautioning them against using the community as a base for illegal activities.
This follows a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court on October 30, 2024, affirming the Essel Amanquado family as the rightful allodial owners of Fetteh Kakraba lands.
The decision concludes a prolonged legal battle that began at the Winneba High Court, where the Essel Amanquado family initially secured a favourable ruling.
Challenges from their Gomoa Fetteh counterparts escalated the matter to the Supreme Court, which upheld the previous judgments.
According to Nana Yaw Kwadromanu, the ruling resolves years of legal disputes and confirms the Essel Amanquado family’s ownership of the contested lands.
Speaking after the judgment, the Mankrado emphasized his commitment to maintaining peace and order in the community.
He issued a stern warning to landguards and other groups attempting to exploit the situation, declaring that such actions would not be tolerated.
“We want peace in Fetteh Kakraba. This judgment confirms that the Essel Amanquado family owns these lands, and any other claims are without merit. I caution those who think they can use threats and violence to create chaos—this community will not serve as a haven for such activities,” Nana Yaw Kwadromanu asserted.
The ruling has been welcomed by the people of Fetteh Kakraba, who view it as a significant victory for justice and a resolution to the long-standing tensions over land ownership.
Local authorities and the traditional council have pledged to collaborate with law enforcement agencies to ensure peace and prevent any acts of lawlessness in the aftermath of the verdict.
As the community looks to the future, the Mankrado called on all parties to respect the Supreme Court’s decision and focus on fostering unity and development in the area.
