The Supreme Court in a unanimous decision, ruled on July 12, 2023, that Amamole and Ablekuma lands in the Greater Accra Region do not belong to Nii Ahinquasro Baddoo, Nii Kwaku Foso III, Albert Badu and Ofori Badu, who wanted to claim the said lands.
The five-member-panel of judges was presided over by Justice P. Baffoe-Bonnie.
The rest are, Professor Justice N. A. Kotey. Justice M. Owusu (Ms), Justice Lovelace-Johnson (Ms) and Justice E. Yonny-Kulendi.
The Supreme Court held that, the plaintiffs tried to subvert the existing judgement by re-litigating in a different suit, seeking to be given the capacity to deal with Ablekuma land for which they have been declared “to lack the capacity to do so.”
“Beyond the lack of capacity, the plaintiffs did not adduce cogent evidence to establish that, they are the owners of Ablekuma and Amamole lands and that, Amamole land is within Ablekuma land. He who alleges, must prove.
“The plaintiffs had the duty to prove their claim on a balance of probabilities and they failed to do so.
“The appeal of the defendants therefore succeeds and is hereby allowed. The judgement of the Court of Appeal dated 21st May, 2020, which affirmed the decision of the High Court dated 31st May, 2017, is hereby set aside, together with its consequential orders.”
The defendants, Nii Tetteh Okpe II (now deceased), Numo Narteh, Samuel Laryea, Eshmael Addo, James Tetteh and Joseph Lartey, appealed to the Supreme Court, after the High Court and the Court of Appeal earlier gave judgement in favour of the plaintiffs.
Dissatisfied with the decision of the Court of Appeal, the defendants on May 26, 2020, filed an appeal, praying the Supreme Court to reverse the judgement of the Court of Appeal.
The plaintiffs were represented by Mr T. N. Ward Brew, while the defendants were also represented by Mr Christopher King.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
