The Accra Regional Police Command have swiftly arrested alleged armed landguards over a parcel of land at Adjiringanor, near East legon in Accra.
The security personnel acted on a tip off after a Peace FM news item on Wednesday evening.
The armed landguards announced their intention of preventing workers of Empire Builders from working on their legitimately acquired land at the said area.
Indications are that the Police moved in on the date the alleged landguards announced, and consequently effected the arrest.
The alleged landguards including an armed Military man are currently at the Police Regional Command assisting the Police with investigations.
The two real estate owners -Empire Builders and Top Kings have over two decades engaged in a legal tussle over some parcels of land at Adjiringanor.
Despite the Supreme Court ruling spelling out in clear terms who owns portions of the land, Top Kings after developing its 62 acres awarded them by the court into Kings Cottage, are still not satisfied with the ruling and keep using landguards to frustrate workers of Empire Builders.
Meanwhile, it has emerged that large catchers of weapon was recovered from the alleged landguards at the time of arrest.

@Nana Amoako, peacefmonline appears compromised too or just plain ***barred word***!
Peace FM should be guarded and balanced in their reportage on this issue. A few days ago those of us living in the area witnessed over 100 land guards from Empire Builders shooting guns on the same portion of land and harassing everybody in the area. The only difference is that the police was not around to arrest them or the police turned a blind eye for obvious reasons. Terracone has been harassing everybody in the area, using his helicopter to intimidate residents. He sometimes brings as many as 300 armed land guards to openly shoot guns. Please take your time and read the so called supreme court judgement, and tell us which page allocates any portion of the said land to Empire Builders? If you are a credible news media, then speak truth to power. We hope Terracone's bribery and corruption has not reached your desk!
