Four remanded for land guard activities in Millennium city

The Kasoa-Ofaakor Circuit Court has ordered four individuals to be held in police custody for two weeks over their alleged involvement in land guard operations at Millennium City, a suburb of Kasoa in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region.

The suspects—Patrick Ndego, Hassan Hamidu, Ebenezer Ankomanyi, and Abass Chonchonko—are accused of participating in violent incidents that have repeatedly disturbed the peace in the area. Their actions have reportedly sparked fear and insecurity among residents.

According to police prosecutor ASP Sylvester Agbezudor, Ndego and Hamidu were arraigned on charges of engaging in land guard activities and causing public disorder, stemming from a confrontation that occurred on April 11. In a related case, the two were charged alongside Ankomanyi and Chonchonko for their involvement in another violent altercation that left several individuals injured.

Presiding Judge Nana Asantewaa Attakora granted the prosecution’s request to remand the accused, citing the need for ongoing investigations. The four are expected to reappear in court on May 21, 2025.

Notably, this is not the first time Patrick Ndego has faced the court over similar allegations. In February 2025, he was bonded by the court to abstain from land-related violence following earlier disturbances in the same locality.

Millennium City—also referred to as Gomoa Bantama—has long been plagued by land guard operations. Residents have expressed ongoing frustration over the violence and disruption caused by these groups.

Several locals who spoke to Adom News voiced relief at the arrests, viewing them as a potential step toward restoring order in the community. The Chief of Gomoa Bantama, Nana Kwesi Amoanyi, praised the Millennium City District Police for their continued vigilance and urged the judiciary to impose harsher penalties on offenders to deter future criminal acts.
