Stop indiscriminate sale of Fetteh lands - Chief

The Chief of Gomoa Fetteh in the Central Region, Nana Abor Yamoah II, has warned people parading themselves as chiefs and agents of the traditional authority to stop the indiscriminate sale of lands in the area to prospective developers.

Speaking to newsmen at Gomoa Fetteh on Thursday, Nana Yamoah, who is the Twafohene of the Gomoa Akyempim Traditional Area, said he had not appointed anybody to sell land or act as his agent in the area.

He noted that some people parading themselves as chiefs were selling land especially at Budumburam (Liberia Camp), Fetteh Kakraba, Kobina Andoh, Anapa Nsu, Kojo Oku and other settlements.

Nana Yamoah urged people who had acquired land within the area to contact him to regularise their transactions to avoid future complications.

While investors were welcome to create jobs for the unemployed youth in the area, they should acquire land for their ventures through the right channel, he said adding that, "we do not want to plunge our tenants into land disputes."
