The Greater Accra Region’s Kpone-Katamanso Municipality’s surveyors are allegedly being protected on a piece of land in Katamanso by a police service patrol team, according to an investigation being conducted by the police.
On September 6, 2022, at Lakeside Estates in Accra, a patrol team driving a service vehicle with the license plate GP 175 was allegedly seen on the property with individuals ostensibly working as private security guards protecting some surveyors plotting site plans.
Attorneys from Ahmed Legal Consult petitioned the Inspector General of Police (IGP) regarding the alleged act, which prompted the investigation.
“We write for and on behalf of Oakley Family to humbly request the urgent intervention of your good offices to investigate and immediately halt the repeated and illegitimate use of Police authority and armed wielding land guards in attempts by some faceless developer, in continuously committing acts of trespass on our client’s land,” the petition said.
“This faceless developer’s basis of the claim is unknown but he relies on arms wielding land guards that are forcefully and unlawfully rendering support and security services led by a certain developer under the cover of a private security.”
According to the petition, a police car with the license plate GP 175 assisted the security firm during their operations.

An Accra Circuit Court has ordered the arrest of Prince John Baidoo, a road contractor, for failing to appear before it.
Baidoo is alleged to have collected $50,000 and GH¢10,000 from one Abdulai Isaaka Pangsur, Managing Director of Cadmus Mining, under the pretext of providing him with a 10km mining concession at Anyinabrim, near Sefwi Wiawso but failed.
The court presided over by Mrs. Evelyn Asamoah, issued a bench warrant because Baidoo had absented himself from court many times.
When the matter was called on October 19, last year, Baidoo’s lawyer informed the court that his client was unwell and the lawyers produced medical proof of Baidoo’s illness.
The matter has since been adjourned several times with the accused and his lawyer always absent from court.
Prosecuting, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Fuseini Yakubu, indicated that Baidoo’s sureties were evading the service of forfeiture, which would compel them to produce Baidoo in court.
