In a press statement signed by the Chairman of the Ashanti Regional Security Council and Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah warned that anyone who will engage the services of land guards will be apprehended and prosecuted.

The statement also cautioned land guards that they would not be spared as well.

” The Ashanti Regional Security Council therefore states that any person found to engage the services of land guards will be apprehended, prosecuted, and arraigned before court. The land guards will not be spare either. They will be made to face the law.

” It is the expectations of REGSEC that the public will accept the above directives for strict compliance to ensure peace in the region”, the statement said.

The Ashanti Regional Security Council also called on all citizens in the region to use the right procedures to address their land disputes rather than to employ the use of land guards whose activities always threaten law_ abiding citizens and result in violence.

The statement appealed to all in the region to work together to make the region an orderly, safe and peaceful one.
