Gomoa chiefs give IGP, National Security one week to close New Winneba North Police Station

The Gomoa Ajumako and Gomoa Assin Traditional Areas have urged the Inspector General of Police (IGP) and the National Security to swiftly close the New Winneba North Police Station. According to the chiefs, the police allegedly shot three people who died and 23 others who are now receiving treatment at a local hospital during a recent clash.

The chiefs have also demanded that the Central Regional Lands Commission and relevant agencies establish clear boundaries between Gomoa Central District and Effutu Municipality to resolve a long-standing land dispute. At a press conference, Nana Okatakyi Idan Opirim IX, the Gomoa Jukwahene, expressed his disapproval of the Monday clash between Gomoa Oguaakrom, Yenkuadze, Pomadze, and the settlers of New Winneba.

He stated that the two chiefs of Gomoa Ajumako and Gomoa Assin were unhappy with the construction of the New Winneba North Police Station as the land was originally part of Gomoa Central District. The chiefs have called for an investigation into the shooting of innocent citizens and the improper voting of New Winneba Settlers in Effutu Constituency.
