Muslim youth warn land grabbers hands off Eid grounds

The Kete Muslim Youth Association warns against illegal sales of their sacred prayer ground. Community leaders held a press conference about people trying to sell the Eid prayer site. The land serves as the official worship area for Muslims since they moved after Akosombo Dam construction. Families have used the space for religious ceremonies since 1961 when lake waters covered their original homes. Leaders say the property represents their spiritual heritage and community identity.

Some people attempt to claim the land near Kete Senior High Technical School and SDA School. The Muslim community states they will resist any unauthorized development or ownership claims. Leaders prepared to take legal action against those involved with the illegal sale. They warn that trespassing on the sacred ground will face serious consequences. The association reminds everyone that resettlement laws protect their community rights.

Executive Instrument 98 protects Kete as a resettlement area after the dam project displaced residents. The allocated land was meant for community development rather than commercial profit. Leaders ask traditional authorities and government officials to support their cause. They believe protecting the prayer ground preserves their religion and peace. The youth association declares the site remains off limits to buyers and developers.
