</div>By an
amended Writ of Summons and Statement of Claim filed on 28th March
2016 Plaintiff filed this suit against Defendant claiming title to a piece of
land situate at Odorkor-Tsium covering an area of 0.39 acres, recovery
of possession, damages for
trespass, perpetual injunction, an Order for cancellation of Defendants records
and cost.<o:p></o:p>Plaintiff’s
case is that she acquired the land in dispute situate and being at Odorkor-Tsuim Accra from Nii Tsuim Tawiah (also
known as Gbawe Tawiah) acting by its lawful head and representative Naa Konkai
Tawiah in 1989 by way of a leasehold
for a term of 99 years. Plaintiff
described her land as all that piece or
parcel of land situate and being at Odorkor-Tsuim containing an approximate area
of 0.39 acre on the North East more or less bounded by lessor’s land measuring
78.4 feet more or less on the South West by a proposed road measuring 68.0 feet more or less on the South East by lessor’s
land measuring 227.9 feet more or less and on the North West by lessor’s land measuring 248.3 feet more or less.<o:p></o:p>Plaintiff
said she travelled out of the jurisdiction in 1990. Plaintiff said on her
return in 2009 she found out that Defendant had put caretakers on the land,
claiming ownership; and had registered a half of her land at the Lands
Commission. Plaintiff says unless the Court restrains Defendant she will not
continue her trespass. Plaintiff said Defendant’s registration is fraudulent
and must be cancelled from the Lands Commission’s records. She claims against
Defendant per her reliefs endorsed on her Writ of Summons. In Plaintiff’s reply
to defence and defence to Defendant’s counterclaim, Plaintiff said the land in dispute
does not fall within the known
boundary for Gbawe Kwartei Family per the 1922 Interpleader Summons, an affidavit
before the Supreme Court of the Gold Coast in Suit No 22/1922 between MANTSE KOJO ABABIO IV AND T. R. QUARTEY AND KWATEI KOJO AND MENSAHFIO
