Landowners threaten to 'shit bomb' school over stalled compensation

 

According to them, government has refused to give them their compensation after promising to do.

They have therefore given government two weeks ultimatum to address their concerns.

"If by two weeks, government refuses to give us our compensation, we will go and shit bomb the school every morning. The president is not my relative. I don't know him from Adam. So he should bring us our compensation immediately," one of the angry farmers told Pulse.com.gh.

Another farmer, whose large tract of farmland was destroyed to pave way for the construction of the new school said she will join her colleagues to demonstrate if necessary.

"My cocoa, oranges, were all destroyed because of the construction of this school. They should give us our money. How do I pay my children's fees if I've not been compensated. We are prepared to wear red headbands to demonstrate until our concerns are addressed.

"The school is not free. We will pay school fees. And even if it's free, won't the child eat before going to school, or wear uniform to school?" she angrily asked.
