The Director of Elections and IT for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Edward Omane Boamah, has condemned what he described as the activities of “land looters” under the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.

His comments come after an attempted land grab at Ghana International School (GIS) in Cantonments, Accra, was foiled by the school's security team and local police.

Mr. Boamah, in a Facebook post dated September 5, 2024, praised the school's management for standing firm against what he termed "Liberal land looters."

The incident reportedly occurred in the early hours of Saturday, August 29, 2024, when a tipper truck loaded with sand arrived at the school property’s gate at around 2 AM, attempting to dump its load on the land.

Frank Amponsah-Mensah, Principal of GIS, recounted that the school's security personnel acted swiftly and called in the Cantonments Police for support.

A plain-clothed individual, driving a Toyota Camry with registration number ER 297-23, also arrived on the scene, insisting that the truck be allowed to enter the property.

However, the combined efforts of the school’s security team and police officers prevented the unauthorized entry and potential illegal takeover of the land.

Expressing gratitude to the security team and police, Mr. Boamah condemned the brazen attempt to seize the school's property.

“It is despicable that individuals would attempt such a criminal act against a school that has educated so many of them and continues to educate their children and grandchildren,” he stated.

Mr. Boamah called on the authorities to take swift action against the perpetrators and reaffirmed GIS’s commitment to protecting its property from any unlawful encroachment.
