</div>Plaintiff is the owner of a
property referred to as “Office Block One” located at its Weija Monitoring
Station. The property fell into disuse when plaintiff moved from analogue
transmission to FM transmission. Taking advantage of the unoccupied property,
defendant operated a school known as “Way of
Hope School” on the property without
any authorization by plaintiff. The
thrust of plaintiff’s plaint is that she has urgent need of the property to
fulfill her statutory mandate as a public service broadcaster. Consequently, by
notice of eviction dated 4th of
March 2014, defendant was served with notice to give up vacant possession of
plaintiff’s property by the 30th of August 2014.<o:p></o:p>Plaintiff averred that
defendant failed to vacate the property and she took steps to re-occupy her
property by barricading the windows and doors at cost of GHc990. But defendant
broke the barricades down and has continued to unlawfully occupy the property thereby
depriving her of same.<o:p></o:p>Plaintiff’s prayer is for the following reliefs:<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A declaration that defendant’s occupation of
plaintiff’s property known as “Office Block One” is illegal;<o:p></o:p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An order for defendant to quit the property
known as “Office Block One” and yield up vacant possession to plaintiff;<o:p></o:p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
