Top Kings Enterprise Limited employees and management have accused the police of assaulting them with land guards.
The workers alleged that they were working when armed police officers and suspected land guards pounced on them.
According to the workers, the officers claimed to have been dispatched from the East Legon Police Station.
Martin, one of the workers, told the media that some of the land guards destroyed their electronic equipment and stole their cell phones in the presence of the police.
In a recent press conference, the company accused Empire Builders (Trassaco Valley) of using the police to intimidate, harass, and threaten occupants who are building projects on land they legitimately own.
Top Kings stated that the business owner had taken them to court and lost at every level, but he continues to threaten property and people who have legitimate access to the parcels of land in question.
The company had stated that Empire Builders dragged them into a protracted legal battle that lasted 22 years, from the High Court to the Supreme Court, with Empire Builders losing at every stage.
Empire Builders Ltd, dissatisfied with the Supreme Court’s decision, filed a new action against Top Kings Enterprise in the High Courts of Adenta and Accra in 2021, alleging that Top Kings is taking land not covered by the 1998 to 2020 suit, which ended at the Supreme Court. The 2021 suits were also dismissed, as was a subsequent appeal to the Court of Appeal, it added.
According to the most recent allegations, an excavator came to their premises, destroyed structures, and abused the workers without provocation.
“One of them slapped me and gave me a heavy blow,” said another worker. I screamed and demanded to know why the police were watching the land guards assault us. When I complained about what was going on, one of the officers told me to stop talking. They demanded that we come out and kneel. They ruined our televisions, refrigerators, and other valuables. They also took our cellphones.”
