KWAME KWAAKO ANTWI vs. OPHELIA PANU

JUDGMENT OFOE,J.A: This is an appeal that had travelled all the way from the Adjabeng District Court where the plaintiff sued the defendant for “1. Recovery of possession of the said rooms occupied by the defendant 2. Order to hand over keys to the other rooms in the said house 3. General Damages 4. Cost occasioned the suit and any other reliefs”. The facts grounding these claims of the plaintiff are not complicated. They are that the defendant was the plaintiff’s acquaintance who plaintiff offered a room to occupy in his completed building located at Odorkor, Accra. He made this offer on the request of the defendant who had then been ejected from her rented accommodation. The defendant without his consent or permission has given out other rooms in the property to others and not accounting to him. This did not go down well with him and therefore requested the defendant to vacate the premises. The defendant has flatly refused. Hence this writ before the District Court. ...
