The Domeabra Obom Youth Association (DOYA) has called for the immediate arrest of the Mponuahene of Akyem Apedwa for allegedly causing the chaos recently experienced in Dome Faase.
According to the group, the attempt by the chief to illegally claim lands not belonging to him using the military to intimidate others and cause confusion, saw residents fleeing the area.
Speaking at a press conference, the President of DOYA, Emmanuel Nii Okai Armah, said a full-scale investigation must be conducted by the country’s security agencies.
Hundreds of fear-stricken residents on Wednesday fled following clashes that left a number of people, including two military personnel, injured.
The incident led to the deployment of more military personnel to the town.
The coalition of Ga communities had alleged that the Mponuahene of Akyem Apedwa and the Akyem Traditional Council in the Eastern Region were taking their farmlands from them hence the resistance that led to the chaos on Tuesday, August 25, 2020.
Emmanuel Nii Okai Armah, the president of the youth group in Domeabra Obom accused the government of backing the Nkonuahene of Akyem Apedwa to foment trouble in the area.
“Mponuahene has the support of government to engage in this roundly condemnable conduct. Domeabra Obom constituency was peaceful until he decided to ride at the back of coercive apparatus of State to harass constituents.”
