Score of aggrieved farmers at Atwima Yabi in the Atwima Kwanwoma District of the Ashanti region have appealed to Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, to intervene in land dispute in the area.
The aggrieved residents said they were being terrorized by land guards and security persons over the land and they could no longer go to their farms.
