The management of Scanfarms Ghana Limited has appealed to the government to provide it with security following the alleged murder of one of its employees, a security guard on Saturday.
[contextly_sidebar id=”aJBIz5iNhRSU7etpOiCnCxF89ejxWC6N”]Management and staff of the company have been left traumatized and terrified after the stabbing of the security guard on Saturday by some herdsmen.
The Head of Administration at Scanfarms Ghana Limited, Edward Gyebi in a Citi News interview said the company is currently helpless.
“Currently we are all frightened. No one can go there because we are wondering who will be the next. We can’t go there but it is our farm. We don’t know whether to lay off the workers because no one wants to go there. The security men are all down. We are harvesting our Sorghum now so now who will go and harvest it. It is about 105 hectares,” he said.
According to the police, managers of the farm reported that the security guards at the farms at Dukusen near Agogo in the Ashanti Region tried driving away some cattle that were grazing on a Sorghum farm at about 4 pm on Saturday but were not successful.
The guards later called for reinforcement to help them drive away the cattle who were destroying the farm.
The deceased, 35-year-old, David Ntiabak who was on his way to assist his fellow security guards ran into the herdsmen and was later found in a pool of blood.
He was rushed to the Agogo Presbyterian hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
