P<\/strong><\/p>\n

AN ATTEMPT by a certain landowner
\nto eject squatters from his land at Dagomba Line in Kumasi nearly turned bloody
\nyesterday.<\/p>\n

The angry squatters, who are
\nreported to have lived on the vast land for many years, refused to leave
\npeacefully.<\/p>\n

The landowner (name not known to DAILY<\/em><\/strong>
\nGUIDE<\/em><\/strong>)
\nsecured a court order to eject the squatters, who mounted fierce resistance.<\/p>\n

Not even the presence of armed
\npolicemen could put some fear in the squatters, who were charged and ready to cause
\ntrouble.<\/p>\n

In the process, the squatters
\nclashed with the police when some of them started pelting the law enforcement
\nofficers with stones and other offensive implements.<\/p>\n

The angry squatters also caused
\ndestruction to some property by setting fire on them.<\/p>\n

Personnel from the Ghana National
\nFire Service (GNFS) at one point were summoned to bring the fire under control.<\/p>\n

Initially, it seemed the squatters
\nwere winning the battle as the policemen strategically retreated and called for
\nreinforcement.<\/p>\n

When the numbers of the policemen
\neventually increased, the security agents took over resulting in injuries to
\nsome of those involved in the violence.<\/p>\n

The security agents also gave some
\nof the squatters a wild chase and arrested some of them.<\/p>\n

The police firmly took control as armed personnel were seen at vantage points which paved the way for the demolition to go ahead as planned.<\/p>\n
