Nungua Stool Raises Alarm Over Land Litigations, Calls for Security Intervention

The Nungua Stool has expressed grave concern over escalating land litigations in the area, warning that the situation poses a serious threat to peace and security at the traditional paramountcy.

Addressing a press conference in Accra on Tuesday, the Nkpor Mantse, Nii Borteyfio Borteykwei Afadi Nsuro, speaking on behalf of the Nungua Stool, said land disputes have become one of the most persistent challenges confronting the area.

He cited a recent violent shooting incident that occurred on Saturday, January 10, 2026, describing it as a dangerous escalation that has endangered lives and severely undermined public peace and security in parts of Nungua, particularly at Nmai Dzor.

In view of the shooting, the reported presence of armed land guards, and rising tensions in the area, the Nungua Stool appealed to all security agencies—especially the Ghana Police Service, National Security, and the Regional Security Council (REGSEC)—to intervene immediately to restore law and order.

According to the Nkpor Mantse, sustained security presence is needed at Nmai Dzor to maintain calm until all outstanding land matters are finally determined by the courts.

While hinting that certain powerful interests may be behind the shooting incident, he stressed that the Nungua Stool remains firmly committed to peace, lawful development, and the supremacy of the rule of law.

He stated the Nungua Stool will continue to pursue all appropriate legal remedies to protect its lands and ensure the safety of its people

He further disclosed that the Stool currently has several land-related cases pending before the courts and expressed confidence that justice will ultimately prevail in its favour.

The Nkpor Mantse also issued a strong caution to the general public and prospective land buyers, urging them to exercise extreme care when dealing in lands at Nmai Dzor.

“Any document purported to originate from factions in respect of Nmai Dzor lands is worthless and will only lead to costly litigation and loss of investment,” he warned, adding that the only valid title to land in the area emanates from the Nungua Stool.

He concluded by emphasising that land disputes must be resolved through lawful adjudication and not through force, intimidation, or political influence, warning that continued lawlessness could destabilise the area if not urgently addressed.
