The University of Ghana has cautioned individuals and groups against encroaching on its legally acquired lands at Borteyman in the Greater Accra Region, warning that any unauthorised use of the property constitutes a criminal offence.
In a public notice issued on August 20, the University reaffirmed its ownership of the land, backed by valid title documents, and stressed that activities such as sale, construction, allocation, or occupation without authorisation amount to trespass and encroachment.
Citing the Land Act, 2020 (Act 1036), the University of Ghana Act, 2010 (Act 806), and the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29), management warned that offenders risk prosecution, fines, and imprisonment.
The University further noted it would not hesitate to pursue legal remedies, including writs of possession, demolition of illegal structures, and claims for damages at the expense of encroachers.
It advised the public to steer clear of any unauthorised dealings on the land, stressing that those who defy the caution do so at their own risk and will face the full consequences of the law.
