Huahi Royal Family affirms Allodial Title to Benimasi-Boadi lands in court judgment
A Circuit Court in Kumasi has affirmed the Huahi Achama Tutuwaa Royal Family’s allodial title to a substantial parcel of land in Benimasi-Boadi.
The court, presided over by Justice Abdul Razak Musah awarded a cost of GH₵5,000.00 against the defendants, Nana Kwame Adu and a Mr Wobil.
The court also made an order for recovery of the land in dispute.
Mr Musah, the judge accordingly granted all the reliefs sought by the plaintiff Abusuapanin Odeneho Odehyee Nanaba Kwabena Badu, the head of the Huahi Achama Tutuwaa Royal Family, per his lawful attorney, Nana Kwesi Osei Bonsu.
Among the reliefs granted by the court include a declaration that Oheneyere Yaa Huahi Achama Tutuwaa is the owner of all that piece or parcel of land situate and lying at Benimasi-Boadi Kumasi, Ashanti Region.
The land in dispute was said to be a gift granted by Asantehene Osei Tutu I to his wife Oheneyere Yaa Huahi Achama Tutuwaa.
This customary law gift, a testament to their marriage and the birth of their daughter, Nanaba Konadu Afia-Ofi, solidified the family’s matrilineal royal bloodline.
The court meticulously examined and accepted evidence that this transfer wasn’t merely a verbal promise. Elders, including Nana Osei Boa and Nana Essen Boadi, consented to the gift, which was formally sealed with a presentation of palm wine.
For generations, the family’s continuous and undisturbed ownership was a key factor in the court’s decision, with proof of their stewardship including leasing portions of the land to others.
A declaration that the plaintiff was the head of family of Huahi Achama Tutuwaa Royal Family of Benimasi-Boadi and had the capacity to deal with or alienate or deal with Oheneyere Yaa Huahi Achama Tutuwaa Royal Family Lands with the consent and concurrence of the principal members being: Obaapanin Abena Ataa Birago a.k.a Sarah Ibrahim Bonsu, Samuel Opoku, Nana Kwesi Osei Bonsu, Erica Konadu Adutwumwaa, Obaapanin Adwoa Yeboah a.k.a Sakina Donkor, Obaapanin Akua Asamoah, Obaapanin Akosua Achiaa a.k.a Mary Donkor, Ama Amankwa, Obaapanin Nana Yaa Pokuaa, Benjamin Ababio and Afia Amoah.
A declaration that the first defendant had no capacity whatsoever to alienate or deal with any portion of the Oheneyere Huahi Achama Tutuwaa Royal Family Lands.
A declaration that any sale or purported sale of any portion or portions of Oheneyere Huahi Achama Tutuwaa Royal Family Lands by the first defendant or any person, persons or institutions claiming through him is null and void.
The court also granted perpetual injunction restraining the first defendant, his agents, servants, privies assigns or any person or persons who might claim title through him or for him from interfering with the interest of Huahi Family Lands.

Global Africa Summit: Jane Reindorf urges policy makers to remove barriers discouraging investment
The Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Africa Investment Network, Jane Reindorf, has urged policy makers to remove barriers that discourage investment in Ghana.
She made the appeal during the two-day Global Africa Summit held at the Alisa Hotel in Accra from December 11-12.
The Global Africa Summit is an initiative of the Africa Investment Network designed to unite Africa and its global diaspora under a shared vision of economic collaboration and sustainable development.
The summit provides a platform for governments, investors, policymakers, and industry leaders to discuss opportunities that can accelerate growth across the continent.
Held in major cities across the world, the summit focuses on promoting trade, investment, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
It also highlights the critical role of diaspora capital and partnerships in unlocking Africa’s potential in sectors such as technology, renewable energy, agriculture, finance, tourism, and the creative economy.
Reindorf speaking to journalists at the summit, explained that the forum was created to explore opportunities for trade and investment in Ghana across different sectors.
She noted that although the country was showing visible development, a more supportive environment would help attract and retain investors, especially those from the diaspora.
She observed that people in the diaspora come to Ghana through different experiences and journeys, and a friendly business climate would help sustain their interest.
She stressed that investors mainly look for places where their capital can grow and make meaningful impact.
In her view, cultural attitudes, politics, and personal biases sometimes block opportunities in Ghana even though investors focus more on the strength of business prospects than on political issues.
She pointed out that a diaspora investor with about 200 million dollars could easily choose Kenya or South Africa if Ghana failed to create a favourable environment.
For her, government must work to keep investment coming into Ghana instead of losing it to other countries.
Reindorf shared that the next day of the summit would include reflections on the event and discussions on investment opportunities in Africa’s “sixth region,” the diaspora.
She explained that these conversations would look at how remittances can be turned into productive investments rather than being used only for family support.
She added that entrepreneurs would present bankable projects to both in-person and virtual investors as part of efforts to link ideas with funding.
She described this as the moment “the magic happens,” and expressed appreciation for the support of the network’s investment partner, John Morris.
Reindorf highlighted that African Americans, Brazilians, and Caribbean communities form a strong base of potential investors.
She said the Africa Investment Network hopes to engage these groups and direct their interest toward Ghana by building the right platform.
She noted that during her first visit to Ghana, she assessed the market and saw clear potential to attract investment through stocks, bonds, projects, and direct ventures.
She explained that this was the type of platform the organisation aims to strengthen to support Ghana’s investment drive.
