C/R: Over 5,000 buildings at Millennium City to be flattened
The CEO and Director of 21st Century Company Limited, popularly known as Millennium City in the Gomoa East district of the Central Region, Mr. Kofi Asmah, says he has secured a court order to demolish more than 5,000 structures and houses put up on his sprawling property by encroachers.
He told journalists in an interview that most of the encroachers are Nigeriens, Burkinabes, Malians and Togolese.
"They have turned the whole place into a zongo", he lamented to journalists.
According to Mr Asmah, the aliens are frustrating the efforts of the company's bonafide clients from possessing their real property and developing them.
Some of them, he noted, invade the place with land guards to demand "digging fees" and other "outrageous" charges from the company's clients who want to develop their property.
According to him, despite all the laws enacted by the Akufo-Addo administration that are enabling to the real sector, the aliens have managed to stifle development in the area.
He, thus, sought redress from the Ofaakor District Court which has granted the company a demolishing order.
Officials of the company, in the company of scores of police officers, have begun marking the structures to be demolished with red graffiti.
He dared the encroachers to prove their title to the property or suffer the demolishing.
Mr Asmah pointed out that he resorted to the court after the several reports he made to the appropriate agencies yielded no results.
He lamented that places earmarked for comeercial, health, education and other purposes have all been invaded by encroachers, thus, grinding the development of the area to a halt.
