“Later on we got an information that it was late opanyin Yaw Badu who hails from Awukugua’s son Nana Yaw who has sold our lands to an unknown private firms” he said.
“We the concerned land owners of Awukugua Domiase, Takasi and Nyensi are sending a word of caution to opanyin Yaw Badu’s son Nana Yaw to refurbished the money to those an unknown firms because our lands are not for sale even though the case is at the court”.
