A woman identified as Sarah Fokou, who has been given a nickname as Inspector General of Police (IGP), due to the way she uses officers in the Police force to carry out her bidding, has allegedly been using illegal means to seize properties in East Legon Ajiireganor.

Despite not owning any land or property in the area according to information, Forjour has reportedly been using the Ghana Police Service to forcibly take legally acquired properties from their rightful owners without proper documentation or Court orders.

Sources indicate that Fokou has been exploiting the ‘IGP’ title to confiscate property documents from her victims, yet she has consistently failed to prove ownership when questioned by the East Legon Police Station.

Property owners in the area, many of whom are foreign nationals, have become increasingly worried as Fokuo’s actions continue unchecked.

A key issue highlighted by concerned sources is the Lands Title Secretariat’s role in this crisis.

It is alleged that the Secretariat has been releasing land titles to individuals, including Fokou, who have no rightful claim to the properties.

These errors have resulted in numerous disputes over ownership, with the rightful property owners left vulnerable to illegal takeovers.

“The Ghana Police Service appears to be complicit in these illegal land grabs, working alongside this self-styled IGP to seize people’s properties without any legal justification,” said a source close to the situation.

Landlords in East Legon Ajiireganor, particularly those who reside abroad, fear they could return to find their properties taken without their consent or knowledge.

The alarming nature of these incidents has raised concerns about the integrity of the system.

Sources claim that Fokou actions are being backed by several prominent figures, including the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Hon. Samuel Abu Jinapor, Captain (Rtd) Budu Koomson, Deputy IGP COP Tetteh Yohuno, John Boadu, and Chief Inspector Charles Twumasi of the property Fraud Unit Police Headquarters.

These individuals are alleged to be facilitating her illegal activities in the municipality.

The alleged collusion between Fokuo and the police has become a major concern for property owners, as the illegal seizures are occurring without proper legal oversight.

Many of the lands affected are said to be family-owned, not government or Stool lands, contradicting Fokuo claims.

The situation in East Legon Ajiireganor reflects a broader issue in Ghana, where illegal land takeovers often occur with little consequence.

In 2007, then-President John Agyekum Kufuor issued a directive to return government-acquired lands that were no longer in use to their original owners, but this has not been properly enforced.

Numo Senshie Trebi, identified as the rightful grantor of the East Legon Ajiireganor lands, has urged those encroaching on private lands to cease their activities, warning that the situation will only worsen if action is not taken.

He also dispelled rumors of government acquisitions of these lands, calling them unfounded.

Property owners in East Legon Ajiireganor are calling for urgent intervention from the authorities to address the growing crisis. They fear that if left unresolved, more people will lose their legally acquired lands and properties, with the support of corrupt officials and a broken system.

The Ghanaian government is urged to act swiftly to prevent a total breakdown in property rights and restore confidence in the legal system surrounding land ownership.
