DSP Valentine Akporsu explained that, “this case has been on our table for a long time. They have been having litigation about that particular land. The case has even gotten to the Regional Police Commander. Unfortunately, this happened this morning.
“We have begun investigations into the issue, and whoever is found guilty will be put before the laws. For what I know, this case is purely a land litigation issue and has nothing to do with.”
