[PHOTOS]: Henry Quartey Leads Soldiers To Pull Down Illegal Structures On CSIR Land

Hundreds of structures unlawfully erected on 200 acres of land belonging to the Animal Research Institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research – Ghana (CSIR) have been demolished at Frafraha in the Adentan Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.

This comes after the Greater Accra Regional Security Council gave a 48-hour window for the encroachers to relocate from the area.

The institute has over the years complained about the increasing level of encroachment of about 800 acres of its over 1,000-acre land

Mr Quartey said: “I have urged occupants of the over 900 acres of land to get assistance from the Lands Commission to assist them get executive instruments, in other to be able to register their properties in their names since none of them has documents or permits after over 20 years of building”.

“I admonished the REGSEC team to demolish everything to ground zero, i.e. all existing and new spring-up buildings within the 200 acres of the fenced land should be demolished”, Mr Quartey added.
