The Chief of Staff of Nungua Stool Mr. Frank Kofi Lewi has on behalf of the Paramount Chief of Nungua King Odafio Welentsi III issued a statement to sternly caution illegal developers and encroachers on all parcel of lands belonging to the Nungua Stool.
Mr. Frank Lewi stated that encroachers who are buying from land-guards and fraudsters including ‘fake elders’ around the areas of Ramseyer site, part of Sakumono around the P&T Borteyman and all other lands belonging to Nungua should be very careful to ensure that they have the right documentations because “the Stool will not relax any longer and will embark on a vigorous investigation to expose all the fraudsters who are duping unsuspecting estate developers with fraudulent documents.”
The Chief of Staff stated that in their recent inspection report, it has become clear that some individuals have appropriated some portions of the stool lands to themselves from some unscrupulous land guards and individuals parading themselves as elders of Nungua, whilst others also showed documents which are forged and purported to have come from the Stool only for proper scrutiny to prove otherwise.
“This is not the first time we have had cause to caution the general public on these matters and even at a point went further to notify the Inspector General of police (IGP) in an official letter which was later published in the newspapers but these fraudulent activities appears to be never ending”, he said.
But, “we are very confident in the new IGP Dr. George Dampare, and we trust he will root out all these miscreants from our land tenure system as soon his attention is brought to it”, he added.
He further stressed that the lands commission should also take steps to stop processing all land documents or transactions on all stool lands of Nungua.
Again, he stated that “developers must first submit their land acquisition documents to the Traditional Council for validation before they can proceed further to develop the land.
