Women of Tuobo, District #3, River Gee County, on Thursday, September 5, 2025, staged a ‘peaceful protest’ in Fish Town, calling on county authorities to urgently resolve the decades-old land dispute between Tuobo and neighboring Webbo District. The women, in their numbers, marched to the county administrative building carrying placards with inscriptions: demanding immediate land demarcation. The protestors argued that the prolonged conflict has hindered farming and other developmental activities for many years. The group spokesperson, Ma Annie J. Wollor, said the people of Tuobo have consistently informed the county administration about the dispute, but their concerns are yet to be addressed. She accused residents of Webbo of illegal activities, including farming, mining, cutting trees in Tuobo’s reserved forest as well as destroyed wildlife. “To prevent this situation from escalating into violence like the Glarro and Kiteabo conflict, our entire community, have come together to peacefully petition the Superintendent for immediate land demarcation,” Wollor said while reading the petition. She further blamed the worsening tension on the influx of Burkinabe migrants, alleging that their farming activities have contributed to false land claims, and new misunderstandings between the two districts. Also, Mary D. Koussigba, Tuobo Women President, clarified that they do not oppose the presence of Burkinabe migrants in Webbo. However, she insisted that “these individuals should remain on the lands of those, who invited them, and not encroach on other people land.” Superintendent Mike T. Swengbe meanwhile, assured the women that his office is committed to finding a peaceful resolution to their concern. He said the county surveyor and his team will, beginning today, Monday, September 8, 2025, visit the two communities along with county officials to address the issue. Swengbe also dismissed claims that his office collected money from the affected communities, stating: “I was not aware of reports that each community paid L$20,000 for the boundary demarcation process. Meanwhile, Webbo Statutory District Superintendent Robert B. Dickson, has confirmed receiving the funds, but explained their use. He said the first L$20,000 was spent on transporting a survey team expected to arrive Saturday, while the other L$20,000 is being held by the Township Commissioner to cover the cost of transporting the surveyors after their work concludes this week.
