Thirteen
individuals
have
been
arrested
by
the
police
for
allegedly
filling
and
illegally
developing
sections
of
the
Laboma
and
Teshie
Military
shooting
range
within
the
Kpeshie
Lagoon
area
in
the
La
Dade-Kotopon
municipality
of
the
Greater
Accra
Region.
During
an
inspection
of
the
site
by
the
Greater
Accra
Regional
Security
Council
(REGSEC),
significant
portions
of
the
Kpeshie
Lagoon
were
found
filled
for
development,
with
structures
at
various
stages
of
construction.
Chairman
of
the
Accra
REGSEC,
Daniel
Nii
Kwartei
Titus-Glover,
addressing
journalists,
assured
that
unauthorized
structures
would
be
demolished
in
the
coming
days.
“They
were
picked
up
because
we
wanted
to
get
the
right
people
who
own
these
structures.
Some
are
ordinary
workers;
when
you
ask
them,
they
will
tell
you
that
they
were
sent
here
to
work.
“So,
as
we
have
picked
them,
they
are
in
the
hands
of
the
police,
and
they
will
go
through
the
process,
and
whoever
asked
them
to
come
and
work
should
be
able
to
produce
them.
When
they
do,
they
will
be
given
bail,
and
then
the
law
will
take
its
course,”
he
stated.
“This
one
is
closer
to
the
Kpeshie;
we
will
pull
it
down.
There
is
another
on
your
left,
and
they
are
building
at
the
edge
of
the
Kpeshie,
and
we
will
pull
that
one
down
too.
At
the
far
end,
close
to
the
shooting
range,
it
will
also
be
pulled
down.
“We
invite
everybody
to
come,
and
we
want
to
know
who
sold
the
land
to
the
people.
Because
my
traditional
leaders
are
telling
me
they
have
not
sold
the
land
to
anybody.
“They
only
told
them
that
they
wanted
wooden
structures,
not
permanent
structures.
So,
they
should
tell
us
who
sold
the
land
to
them.

he
added.
