</div>By deed of agreements dated 14th November 1996 and 28th
April 1997, plots numbered C8/8 and C8/9 situate at Atomic Hills Housing
Estate, Accra were leased to plaintiff. The plots are covered by sublease agreements which were admitted in evidence
as exhibits A and B.<o:p></o:p>A fence wall was
constructed around the properties and a caretaker engaged by plaintiff who
farmed on the land. Plaintiff averred that he enjoyed quiet and peaceful
possession of the property until December 2014 when 1st defendant
caused a certificate of purchase to be posted
on the fence wall. Enquiries showed that 1st defendant
purchased the two properties at a public auction conducted on 9th
September 2014 in execution of judgment obtained by 2nd defendant in
suit no AL 14/2006 entitled Iddrisu Ayaa Tetteh vrs Winfred Otuafro Aryeh &amp;
Anor. It is the case of plaintiff that the purported sale of his property was
wrongful as the said Winfred Otuafro Aryeh, defendant judgment/debtor in suit
no AL 14/2006 had no title in the said properties, having divested his interest
in the land to AR and AK Properties ltd. plaintiff’s grantors per exhibits A
and B.<o:p></o:p>Plaintiff is seeking the following reliefs.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:5.85pt;margin-bottom:

A
declaration that the purported auction of plaintiff’s properties described as
plots numbered C8/8 and C8/9
situate at Atomic
Hills Housing Estate, Accra in the
Greater Accra Region of the Republic of Ghana by the 2nd
defendant was illegal, and therefore
the purported certificate of purchase issued by the deputy sheriff to the 1st
defendant is null and void.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:5.65pt;margin-bottom:
