The Nii Lomoh family of Amanfro has warned Estate Developers, individuals, or State Institutions to stop encroaching the Amrahia Dairy Farm Lands situated at Amanfro in the Adentan Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.
The family is also cautioning the public to desist from purchasing from any individual since the land in question is not for sale.
According to the Head of the Nii Lomoh family of Amanfro, Nii Adjetey Lomoh, the Diary Farm Land which was acquired by the government for animal farming some three decades ago has been repossessed from the government pending formal documentation.
The Lomoh family is, therefore, warning prospective developers who have already acquired or are in the process of acquiring portions of the land to desist from doing so.
The warning which was contained in a statement issued and signed by the Head of the family in Accra on Tuesday, April 19, 2022, also urged any interested party(es) to contact the Nii Lomoh family of Amanfro on any case in respect of the Armahia Dairy farmland.
Nii Adjetey Lomoh, in an interview with gbcghanaonline.com, explained that the family has received information that some unscrupulous individuals from Oyarifa and Kweiman areas have claimed ownership of the said land.
“While the family is still in the process of reclaiming the lands from the government, some persons from Owusuwe, kplemwe, and Asoawe family of Oyarifa have started selling portions of the land to developers without the known of the Nii Lomoh family”, he noted.
According to him, it is illegal for the Owusuwe, kplemwe, and Asoawe family of Oyarifa to claim ownership of the entire Dairy Farms lands and sell same to unsuspecting developers, which in the view of the family amount to disrespect.
“We are warning developers to henceforth seize dealing with any person (s) from Owusuwe, kplemwe, and Asoawe family of Oyarifa or their agents on the land.
It must be stated that members of Owusuwe, kplemwe, and Asoawe family of Oyarifa do not own any piece of land there and anybody dealing with them did so in their interest”, the statement noted.
“Let it be on record that anyone whosoever failed to heed to our warning and go-ahead to continue to purchase land from any person or family other than the Nii Lomoh family of Amanfron does so at their or his or her own risk.” he cautioned.
The family also urged agents of the government, especially the Ministry responsible to speed up the process and officially hand over the Diary Farm lands to the family.
The lands in question were acquired by the State under the then Head of State, General Acheampong.
The land was acquired for State farming (animals), but the land has since been left after collapse of General Acheampong’s regime.
Successive governments after General Acheampong’s regime made several attempts to revamp the Dairy farm but failed, hence the family’s decision to take possession of the land.
