</div>On 15th September, 2017, the
plaintiff /applicant, to be referred to as the plaintiff, caused to be issued from
the Registry of this Court, a writ of summons directed at the defendant/respondents,
to be called defendants hereafter, claiming the following reliefs:-<o:p></o:p>(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;Declaration of title to a parcel of land known
as Ayimbilla Daboo at Winkogo measuring a total of 360 acres.<o:p></o:p>(b)&nbsp; Damages for trespass<o:p></o:p>(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;
Recovery
of possession of a portion of the disputed land conveyed or granted to the 2nd
and 3rd defendants.<o:p></o:p>(d)&nbsp; Perpetual injunction restraining the defendants,
privies, assigns, and workmen from interfering with the plaintiff’s ownership,
control and possession of the instant land or having anything to do with the
land.<o:p></o:p>Plaintiff sued in his capacity as the
head of the Aboyer family of Winkogo, claiming the land in dispute as his
family property.<o:p></o:p>After the initial inertia on the part
of defendants resulting in an attempt for interlocutory judgment against them,
they eventually responded by filing a defence on 20th November, 2017
in which they counterclaimed for declaration of title to the same land claimed
by the plaintiff asserting that it is owned by the Akaane family of Winkogo. It
is alleged in paragraph 7 of the statement of defence that the 1st defendant
is the head of the said Akaane family.<o:p></o:p>This ruling is about a motion on notice
brought by the plaintiff praying for an interlocutory injunction to restrain
the defendants, their agents, servants, workmen, assigns and all those claiming
through them from building/constructing on, interfering with &nbsp;and/or selling, disposing off and granting &nbsp;any part of the disputed property pending the
outcome of the suit.<o:p></o:p>
