The Police Administration has refuted claims that it procures the services of land guards to reclaim and protect lands.
This follows a media publication alleging that the Chief Director of the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources, at a Parliamentary Committee meeting on July, 10, 2023 stated that the Ghana Police Service procures the services of landgaurds to reclaim and protect its lands.
But the Police Administration in a statement categorically stated that this claim is, false baseless and unfounded, and should be treated with the contempt it deserves.
“The Police Service has not on any occasion engaged the services of languards to reclaim or protect its lands. Infact, on the contrary, the Service has in recent times intensified its anti-languard operations in communities affected by the activities of these landguards and this renewed effort will not stop until perpetrators of such illegal activities are brought to justice,” the statement added.
The Police Service assured the public that it remains committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring public safety and security at all times, addingthat it will continue to count on the support of the good people of Ghana in this regard.
