La Traditional Council Angry Over Illegal Encroachment Of La Lands

The La Stool/Traditional Council have resolved to embark on series of demonstrations and other lawful acts to recover their lands, should President Akuffo Addo, the Commander in Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces fail to call the military to order.

The La Stool/Traditional Council are raising concerns over what they say are wanton annexation and continuous encroachment of their lands by the military, contrary to arrangements in place to release their lands to them.

The La Stool/Traditional Council have held negotiations with the government, represented by the former Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, over La lands being annexed and encroached by the military. It was pronounced at the end of the negotiations in November last year in the presence of the military and senior officials of the Lands Commission, who were parties to the negotiations from the onset that parts of the lands should be released to the La Stool and that the parts required by the military should be acquired through due process.
