  "account": "KOANS Building Solutions Limited's CEO, Prof. Kofi Anokye, has warned the public against purchasing land from individuals who claim to be traditional authorities in the Teacher Mante and Kyekyewere communities of the Eastern Region. He explained that several properties in the area have been registered by KOANS for over two decades and that the company will not allow unauthorized development on these lands. The CEO dismissed allegations in some media outlets claiming KOANS illegally acquired land, describing such claims as false and urging the public to disregard them. After investigation, KOANS found that some individuals claiming traditional authority were not legitimate and were involved in land-guard activities, making claims that could interfere with legitimate land transactions and potentially defraud unsuspecting buyers. Therefore, Prof. Anokye has advised prospective land buyers to take proper due diligence before committing to any property transaction.

Additionally, buyers should deal directly with the verified owner, avoid relying on third-party representations, complete documentation and registration promptly, and seek professional legal advice before committing to any land transaction.",
