Bunso – Nsutam Roundabout: Tension brews as residents fight over ownership
Share this:
Tension is brewing between the chiefs and people of Bunso and Nsutam over the tussle over ownership of the land space at the Bunso roundabout on the main Accra Kumasi Highway.
On Tuesday, May 9, the youth of Nsutam in a physical confrontation took down a signage embossed with Bunso which was mounted by the chief of Bunso at the GOIL fuel station close to the Linda Dor Rest stop at the roundabout on the main Accra Kumasi Highway.
In a viral video, the youth of Nsutam were seen pulling down the signage which had been mounted at the roundabout. The chief of Bunso who in an attempt to prevent the youth from pulling down his signage was pushed down and dragged back into his car.
As per sources the region which customarily has a place with individuals of Asiakwa was given to Nsutam occupants to settle there yet with the rising business sector and business exercises nearby, the Head of Bunso Osabarima Abiam Brakatu II for quite a while has been determined to effectively take responsibility for region, an issue the young people of Nsutam have promised to go against passionately.
It took the convenient mediation of police staff positioned at the traffic circle to keep the showdown from heightening as it nearly transformed into a wide open battle when one individual from the central’s camp took out a firearm.
Officially there has been a well established issue between the Fanteakwa South District Gathering where Nsutam is found and the Abuakwa South Metropolitan Gathering which Bunso falls under on who is capable to gather business working grants and different expenses from business and land owners at the famous intersection.
