It took Mr. Samuel Larbi Darko about four years before his land certificate was processed for him at the Land Title registry. They residents have refused an olive branch extended by Mr Darko for regularization.Mr Darko has taken the residents to court but instead of responding to his suit they have rather resorted to a press conference which is an abuse of the court process.

Mr Darko did all the due diligence at Lands Commission before he purchased the land and has constantly been harassed by Capt Budu Koomson and the residents by Police, Soldiers and Land Guards.
