Ayensuano District: Obuoho Youth Protest Alleged Unlawful Excavator Burning by Forestry Commission

Youth from the communities of Obuoho and Obuoho Fante, located in the Ayensuano District, have staged a demonstration to voice their strong opposition to the Forestry Commission’s alleged unlawful burning of excavators. The protestors, clad in red and black attire, symbolic of mourning and anger, took to the streets to express their outrage over the incident.

The central demand of the demonstrators is the immediate arrest and prosecution of all individuals responsible for the alleged destruction of the excavators. The act of burning the excavators suggests a potentially illegal and unauthorized use of force by the Forestry Commission, raising serious questions about accountability and adherence to due process.

The demonstration highlights the growing tensions and mistrust between the community and the Forestry Commission. The protesters’ actions underscore the community’s belief that the alleged burning of the excavators was not only unlawful but also an act of injustice that demands swift and decisive action from law enforcement and relevant authorities. The use of red and black attire and the demand for arrests signal the depth of the community’s anger and determination to seek justice for what they perceive as a grave transgression by the Forestry Commission. The specific details surrounding the excavators and the reasons for their presence in the area are not provided, but the intensity of the protest suggests the issue is of significant importance to the affected communities.
