The Faris family of Adeiso in the Upper West Akim District of the Eastern Region has accused the District Chief Executive (DCE), Hon. Rebecca Chissah and the District Police Commander, ASP Millicent Ankamah, of allegedly intimidating them in a property dispute.
The family is accusing the DCE for using her position to intimidate them and forcibly take over property they claim rightfully belongs to them.
Members of the family have described the alleged actions by the police and the DCE as unfair, insisting that they possess the necessary documents to prove ownership of the property.
The family further alleged that the DCE, in collaboration with the District Police Commander, supervised or facilitated the destruction of portions of their property despite the documents they have presented in support of their claim.
Members of the family have disclosed that they equally have what it take to battle the police officers and the DCE, but it just that they wanted peace to prevail in the area.
“We are law abiding citizens and we therefore don’t want to put the law into our own hands and that is why we calling on the DCE and the police officers to work lawfully,” members of the family stated.
The family is therefore appealing to the President of the Republic and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to intervene as a matter of urgency by investigating the matter and calling the District Chief Executive and the Police Commander to order.
