Inhabitants of Anwia and Teleku Bokazu, both in the Nzema East District of the Western Region said they were attacked by their own kinsmen who damaged and burnt their houses in retaliation for their support of the activities of Adamus Resources Limited, a gold prospecting company in the area. They told members of the Regional Security Council at a meeting at Anwia that most of the people were attacked without any provocation. The victims include Doris Asamoah and Stephen Miah, whose stores were burnt, while two others Francis Cudjoe and Emmanuel Avenyoo had their houses burnt, while most of the inhabitants have been threatened with death by the youth. They said the youth have targeted persons related to the chiefs of Teleku-Bokazu and Anwia for attacks and others who are likely to receive compensation from Adamus resources when they begin operations. The chief of Anwia, Nana Essumali Panyinli IV, said he had been in exile for the past five months following a similar attempt on his life by the youth. He said the youths have taken over his coconut farm, harvested the crops and cut down the trees, while his personal house, which also serves as the palace is occasionally vandalized by the youth of the town. Mr. Anthony E. Amoah, Western Regional Minister reminded the community that whatever they embark on would have serious economic and social implication on them and their families and urged the youth to use dialogue instead of violence. Awulae Blay VIII, Paramount Chief of Atuabo, told the people to live in peace and as one people. Source: GNA
