Residents of Banka-Busuafise, a community near Ashalaja in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region, are living in fear following a series of violent incidents that have left three people dead within two weeks.
The attacks, believed to be linked to suspected landguard activities, have heightened tensions in the area, with many residents expressing concern over their safety.
Speaking to Adom News, the Assembly Member for the Ashalaja Electoral Area, Gilbert Kwame Afekpe, said two victims were beheaded, with their bodies later discovered in an uncompleted building.
He further disclosed that a Nigerian national who had visited the area to inspect a parcel of land was shot dead, bringing the death toll to three. Another individual, he added, was recently stabbed and is currently in critical condition receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital.
According to him, the incidents are widely suspected to be connected to the activities of landguards operating in the community.
“These killings are believed to be linked to the activities of alleged landguards in the area,” he said, warning that the situation is creating fear and insecurity among residents.
Mr. Afekpe has therefore appealed to the Ghana Police Service, particularly the Inspector-General of Police, to urgently intervene and restore calm.
Meanwhile, a resident, Veronica Amoh, said the violence is already affecting daily life in the community, especially for children.
She noted that many parents are now afraid to send their children to school due to the ongoing insecurity.
Residents are calling for swift action from authorities to address the situation and prevent further loss of life.
