Solomon Mintah Ackaah addressing journalists
THE PRINCIPAL elders and members of the Akwanor Royal Family of Ashalaja in the Greater Accra Region have assured the public that the activities of land guards are being tackled to bring peace and security to the area.
In a recently held press conference at Ashalaja, the family said the police and other authorities had been alerted over those activities by land guards to harass land owners and developers in the area.
Head of the Akwanor Royal Family, Solomon Mintah Ackaah, addressing issues confronting the community urged developers to deal directly with the new Head of the Akwanor Royal Family.
He said the public should disregard news that Mr. Solomon Mintah Ackaah, no longer occupied the position of a family head.
He assured developers and prospective land owners of their safety in the community, and said the developers were free to carry out their activities without any hindrance.
He said customary land secretariat was inaugurated at Ashalaja to address land disputes. Known as the Nii Akwanor Royal Family land secretariat, the office would record all land transactions at the local level, as well as resolve land disputes within the area.
Mintah Ackaah further called on individuals and organisations who had acquired lands in Ashalaja in the name of Adams Addy and Adu Akwanor to regularise the said acquisitions with the land secretariat in compliance with the Land Act 2020 (Act 1036).
He asked land owners who bought their lands under the former head of family to make their documents available to the new one for verification and resolution of other matters regarding the acquisition.
The Nii Akwanor Royal Family Land Secretariat would be operated by Sissamba Empire Company Limited, in collaboration with the family head, Solomon Mintah Ackaah. Chief Executive Officer of Sissamba Empire, Nii Abbey Okamfra, was also present at the press conference.
