A staff of Town and Country Planning Division was shot by land guard during an inspection of a parcel of land situated at South Odorkor, a suburb of Greater Accra.
Prince Tetteh and other staff of Town and Country Planning were reported to have gone to the land to inspect ongoing developmental projects being undertaken by a developer when they were suddenly attacked by a known notorious land guard, only identified as Scorpion.
Police sources revealed that, the victim and his colleagues were entering the site when they were confronted by Scorpion who, without wasting any time, opened fire, shooting indiscriminately.
Bullet from his gun however hit Prince Tetteh on the leg, and he was later rushed to the hospital where he is receiving treatment.
The suspected land guard, Scorpion was arrested by the police and placed at the Accra Regional Police Command for further investigations.
Meanwhile, this paper has gathered that the said land was given out by NiiOshipi and elders of Sempe to the developer.
The Chiefs of Sempe and allodia owners of the land are calling on the police service to ensure that justice is served in the case since residents have constantly been living in fears over attacks and threats from land guards who always cause havoc in the community.
