It was acquired by the Military\u2026in fact by the government\u2026the whole area was acquired.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, technically, if I buy land from you, it [will] be difficult for you to say now this is my land. It is no more for you. That land was acquired and compensation was paid,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>But in his reaction, Jeffery Nii Adokwei spokesperson for COLA dismissed the Defense Minister\u2019s claims as untrue and shocking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernment has never acquired the lands in question,\u201d he said on Starr Today Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, in 1963 government was given a parcel measuring about 23.7acres for use after the world wars to keep military accoutrements as well as some of the ex-servicemen together with the newly trained soldiers then.<\/p>\n<p>He continued that the government then was supposed to pay a compensation of 10 pounds each year for ten years but it reneged on the agreement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernment was supposed to occupy the land for just ten years\u2026but they have over stayed. Government has extended the land, taking lands measuring over 3000 acres and they have not initiated any step to acquire the land officially,\u201d said Nii Adokwei contrary to the Defense Minister\u2019s claims.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously livid by the claims, he threatened \u2018fire and furry\u2019 should the military continue to occupy the lands he argued were wrongly acquired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people of La and the people of Ga Dangbe are going to rise and we rise up, there is no military tactics that can be used to stop us,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n<p>He said following the Defense Minister\u2019s claims they have convened an emergency meeting Thursday with another to follow Friday to determine their next move saying \u201cpeople are getting awake day in\u2026day out and to be honest with you what is going to happen next nobody will like in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 32 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Friday, 8 December 2017 Source: Starrfmonline.com 2017-12-08 Defense Minister warns Mahama to hand over military lands The Coalition of La Youth Association (COLA) has expressed disgust over the Defense Minister\u2019s claims that lands being occupied by the Military in the area were duly acquired and compensated for.
