Information reaching westernghnews.com from a small farming community in Ahanta West, Eloboankata, has it that two people have been butchered over misunderstandings on the right ownership of a piece of land. One is currently in a very critical condition and is receiving treatment at the regional referral centre, Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital.
The two; Papa Yaw, 40, and Solomon Inkoom were inflicted with the machete wounds this morning by unknown assailants.
Narating the incidence to westernghnews, a wife to an elder brother of the two brothers who have been injured, Mama, said the two were on the farm fixing pegs into the soil for the planting of rubber when they were attacked. She explained that the said land was purchased by their father who has already cultivated parts of it, and gave the remainder to a nephew to cultivate but was unable to. The nephew then gave that portion to the children of his uncle (the one who bought the land) to cultivate. So it was when they were working on the land that they were attacked this morning.
“Their father bought the land and used part to cultivate rubber plantation. He is even harvesting them. Because he could not cultivate the whole land, he gave the remainder to his nephew to cultivate it, but he also could not do it. That’s how come he in turn gave the land to my husband’s younger brothers to cultivate. So they we’re fixing their rubber pegs when they were attacked,” she stated.
According to her, the family were told that the attackers are from the same community, Ellaboankata, but they have not gotten details of the persons who attacked them.
