REV. JAKES KWARTENG ACHEAMPONG vs. NII JACOB OKPELOR ABLOR MENSAH & 4ORS

The Plaintiff, Rev. Jakes Kwarteng Acheampong, claimed title to approximately 4.13 acres of land at Nmai Dzorn, Teshie, Greater Accra, alleging he leased the land from the 1st Defendant, Nii Jacob Okpelor Ablor Mensah, who acted as grantor. The Plaintiff alleged that after acquiring the land by deed of lease dated 16 July 2013, he took possession and erected boundary pillars. He successfully sued a trespasser, Ampofo Adusei, with the 1st Defendant testifying in his favor. Subsequently, the Plaintiff discovered discrepancies in the site plan and engaged the 1st Defendant to execute a supplementary agreement to correct the land description.
