At a news conference after the demonstration, Nii Amarh Ashiboye, Secretary to the Kubekro Divisional Council who read a statement linked the killing to land conflict demarcation between Tema villages and Kpone villages.

He said the Council has made numerous calls on the security agencies on the happenings in the area but to no avail.

“Our silence does not mean we are some toothless dogs. When we get to the point where we feel we cannot be protected by the state security we shall take steps to protect ourselves,” Nii Armah Ashiboye said.

He appealed to the Lands Commission and the Survey Department to endeavour to undertake the demarcation to avert any calamity.
