The Bortianor Traditional Council has called for an impartial investigation into the shooting of some people claiming to be land guards by the Ghana Police Service in June 2023 in Bortianor, Greater Accra Region.

The traditional authority has disputed accusations that the people were land guards who terrorized villagers.

According to the Traditional Authority, the Parliamentary Committee established to investigate the subject has yet to visit the enclave.

Some traditional chiefs in the area spoke to the media about their outrage at the occurrence and urged the government to investigate the killings.

A leader mentioned that the local police commands were unaware of the raid until after the killings occurred.

“The Divisional Police didn’t know anything about the incident the day it happened. The Weija District and the Krokobite Division didn’t know anything about it and this was just about 500 meters from where the incident happened.”

He refuted claims that the victims were armed land guards who had been terrorizing the local residents.

“They were not having guns and the bullet casings shown on TV were brought from else, and we know the people who did that and wrongfully killed the people.”

“The government should wake up and find a way to investigate this thing, and we are ready to give to them telephone numbers to start with their investigations,” the angry traditional leader added.
