ARMAR NMAI BOI AND OTHERS vs. ADJETEY ADJEI AND OTHERS
The Plaintiffs claimed ownership of an 8.2-acre parcel of land at North Teshie, acquired by their late father in 1961 from Nii Klu Din, evidenced by a registered indenture (No. 3825/1985). They alleged continuous possession and acts of ownership, including obtaining a Land Title Certificate in 2007. The Defendants denied the Plaintiffs' claim, asserting that some Plaintiffs were minors or unborn at the time of purchase, and claimed adverse possession of portions of the land acquired from the Tsie We Family, with undisturbed possession exceeding 12 years. The Defendants also alleged the Land Title Certificate was obtained by fraud.
