An anonymous source close to The Independent Ghana says the squatters selling wood at Moose were issued a 24-hour ultimatum to evict a portion of land.

The landowner allegedly brought in land guards to ensure the eviction. A confrontation erupted as the squatters failed to move from the said piece of land.

The land guards reportedly received backup from police personnel. During the clash, the land guards are said to have fired at the protestors, injuring about two individuals who are said to be receiving treatment at St. John’s Hospital at Tantra.

Some affected motorists have reached out to the Police Service for assistance.
