The attempt of a landowner to evict squatters from his land at Dagomba Line in Kumasi almost turned bloody yesterday.

The angry squatters, who would have lived on the vast territory for many years, refused to leave peacefully.

The landowner (unknown name of DAILY GUIDE) obtained a court order to evict the squatters, who met with fierce resistance.

Even the presence of armed policemen could not scare the squatters, who were accused and ready to stir up trouble.

During the process, squatters clashed with the police when some of them began looting law enforcement officers with rocks and other offensive instruments.

Angry squatters also destroyed property by burning them down.

Members of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) were summoned at one point to control the fire.

Initially, it appeared that the squatters were winning the battle as the police pulled out strategically and demanded reinforcement.

When the number of police officers finally increased, the security agents took over, injuring the people involved in the violence.

The security agents also gave a fierce hunt to some of the squatters and arrested some of them.

The police firmly took control as the armed personnel were in strategic locations that allowed the demolition to proceed as planned.
