Kantamanto Market Fire: Gbese Stool Issues Warning to Traders Against Building Wooden Structures

If the ga's want thier land back, why don't you tell the traders to vacate instead of burning all thier hard end properties.

Are u suggesting anytime the place has been guttered by fire , it's the chief and his people who set the place on fire ?There are plans by the owners to develop the place and they re saying the annual burning of the place is becoming one too many so they suggest no one should put any temporal structure for now .. but u are here accusing them for something u have no proof

There is something in the law that, He who owns the land, owns everything on it. I think the traders were issued several warnings in the past. The traders should've made a good deal with the chiefs like paying yearly rent maybe that would've motivated them and let the traders continued their business on the land because it's the same benefits that this investors are going to give the chiefs.

[@InnGodWeTrust]

@tankastv1855 we all know who is behind it. It's not written at anybody's face . But you listen to the tone of the voice. If you put on structures again "I wl let my boys tear it down." What does it mean to you ?although the land belongs to you ; Go to court and get eviction order I think that is the proper way. This is my opinion.

[@Timber3405]

I understand that everyone if emotional right now but something tells me the traders were warned in advance but they didn’t listen… I don’t have all the facts but if you listen to the traders they do not sound surprised that it happened there a surprised at the scale and the timing… 😢

So you should destroy to build what you want. During construction notice is given and a resettlement plan is done if the people need to be compensated is done but you go to destroy the hard earned livelihood of innocent people especially women. In some countries like those involved will be assassinated. The chief is saying his task force will pull everything down again. Even when people stand up boldly the state will not be able to stand against them even the police use common sense to do their work. A person who has lost everything and has nothing else to lose can be very dangerous. Konkomba market a strategic was used and discussion went on before the people moved. If Konkomba people had said no like minister will not be able to do it.
