Appolonia Castle Gate residents call on IGP over forced eviction by alleged court bailiff, police

Residents of the Appolonia Castle Gate area in the Kpone Katamanso municipality have expressed frustration after allegedly being locked out by police accompanying a court bailiff.

Some residents remained locked inside, while others had to break padlocks or use ladders to access their homes.

They claim ownership of the land from rightful custodians verified through the Lands Commission. The residents accused the bailiff of demanding GHS 2,000 for the return of keys and reported ongoing harassment and intimidation.

They appealed to the Inspector General of Police and other authorities to intervene and resolve the situation promptly.
