Some angry land guards have burnt down a Church at Okpoi Gonno on the Spintex Road in Accra.
The land guards, who were wielding guns and machetes, stormed the Believers House of Worship International on Monday and set the building ablaze.
A member of the church describing the event said “People came here in a car branded NPP, they entered, poured petrol on the floor and set the building on fire. Almost everything got burnt.â€
Musical Instruments, chairs and electrical gadgets worth hundreds of thousands of cedis, were all destroyed.
According to the Head Pastor, Rev. Abraham Lamptey, the Church was summoned to court over a suit challenging their ownership of the land about seven months ago.

The case is ongoing in court to determine the rightful owner of the land and therefore he is shocked that the other party could take the law into their own hands.
â€I was home today when I had a call that some 10 thugs, land guards had come to the site, chased everyone out of the place with guns, entered the auditorium, poured petrol and set the place ablaze and burnt everything.
They fled in their pickup and got out of the place. Nobody could stand because they were holding guns and ready to shoot,†Rev. Lamptey said.
               
He said the church three months earlier, received threats from the land guards.
Police at Manet have launched investigations into circumstances that led to the burning down of the church.
