A land dispute involving sand-winning activities has sparked tensions in Asiaw, a farming community in the Nsawam-Adoagyiri Municipality, Eastern Region. Local farmers allege that handguards forcibly evicted them from their farmlands, leading to brutality against local youth.
At a press conference, farmers expressed outrage over allegations that sand-winning contractors Togbe Agar Sermaglo and Samuel Atsu Forson Alanyo confiscated their farmlands and destroyed 17,000 acres of crops, including pineapple, palm fruits, and cassava.
