They demonstrated Tuesday and clashed with the police leading to the injury of seven people.
The spokesperson for the farmers, Ntiamoah Denkyira, speaking to Adom News explained that they did not understand the initial compensation package agreement.
He said they took the case to court but had a different interpretation, a situation they say forced them to demand a better package since they believe they were cheated.
