Tension has arisen between residents of Axim and Nsein, both located in the Nzema East Municipality of Ghana's Western Region, over a land dispute. Recent events highlight the potential for serious conflict if tensions are not resolved. On Monday, residents of Nsein were prevented from entering Axim Lower Town to participate in their Kundum Festival celebrations.
The Paramount Chief of Nsein Traditional Area, Awulae Agyefi Kwame II, expressed deep dissatisfaction with the police's handling of the situation. He firmly maintains that the disputed land belongs to Nsein and that no one has the authority to prevent his people from entering the area. He challenged anyone with supporting documents to come forward and substantiate their claims.
Kwame II informed the Regional House of Chiefs of his decision to hold the Kundum Festival on the disputed land and had sent official letters to relevant institutions. His anger and disappointment were palpable, as he vowed to pursue the matter through the appropriate channels. In response to the incident, Nsein residents stopped playing the Kundum drums and vowed to converge in Axim Lower Town.
The situation remains volatile, with all parties urging authorities to intervene before the dispute escalates further.
