I saw policemen all over and all of us who had come to do business were outside; and I saw two pickups in NDC colours. There were about 12 people in each of the pickups. They were dressed in fugu [Smock]. When I asked what had happened, I was told that these people had come in with their leader to beat the chief executive officer\u00a0and that the issue had to do with some land case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-248510\" src=\"http:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/ndc-thugs-at-lands-commission-2.jpg\" alt=\"ndc-thugs-at-lands-commission-2\" width=\"720\" height=\"520\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Emmanuel said he was told the Chief Executive was attacked because he did not yield to the demands of the leader of the thugs.<\/p>\n<p>Emmanuel further added that, the Police later came in\u00a0to restore calm, adding that, work at the commission came to a standstill for a while.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c&#8230;So while waiting for the gate to be opened, I saw the chief executive officer being whisked away by some police officers and the two pickups were also under arrest by the police. Currently, the Police have brought in a backup at the lands commission. I can count more than 30 police officers who came to bring the situation under control.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNormal work is going on but there are still backup police officers at the place to forestall any further scuffle,\u201d Emmanuel added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>By: Godwin A.
