Residents of the Gomoa Assin Traditional Council are living in fear after land guards locked the palace, assaulted residents, and prevented the Queen Mother from performing rituals.

According to residents, 95 percent of the community is living in fear due to the aggressive actions of the land guards. “We are living in fear, we can’t even go about our daily activities,” said one resident.
