A military officer has been shot dead on Tuesday, April 30, during a dispute over land at Millennium City, a community at Kasoa in the Central region.
Two others narrowly escaped with their lives following the unfortunate incident.
The deceased and others were found to have confronted individuals working on land they claimed is theirs.
The disagreement escalated when attempts to resolve it at the Millennium City District Police Command proved unsuccessful.
The Military officers repeatedly purchased land but faced opposition from a group led by Fiifi when attempting to develop it.
Despite previous reports to the police, the situation remained unresolved.
The military officers encountered occupants on disputed land and urged them to cease their activities and accompany them to the police station for mediation.
However, the disagreement persisted, prompting the officers to return to the police station to follow up on their initial complaint.
They were subsequently informed by an officer on duty that their case had been forwarded to the Central East Regional Police Command.
While they were on their way to the regional command, they were allegedly ordered by one Benlord Ababio, also known as Nana Ben and who is said to be a sub-chief, to stop following up on the case.
The soldiers refused and the said sub-chied allegedly opened fire on their vehicle, a private Toyota RAV4 car with registration number GR 3591-24, killing one of the soldiers instantly.
Benlord Ababio has since been arrested and assisting the Police with their investigations.
