RULING<o:p></o:p>

</div>The Order of this Court on 15th of
August, 2017 which has generated the present application states as follows:<o:p></o:p>“The plaintiffs/applicants are at liberty to use
the rooms &nbsp;&nbsp;in the family house. &nbsp;If the plaintiffs /applicants are not allowed
to use the rooms, then that will constitute contempt.&nbsp; The same way plaintiffs/applicants cannot
prevent the defendant/respondent from sprinkling kpepkle, the defendant also
cannot prevent the plaintiffs/respondents from using the rooms in the family
house.&nbsp; The order has been granted
restraining all the parties from misconducting themselves”.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>A brief
account of events leading to this application would certainly be necessary for
a fuller appreciation of the issue raised in this case.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;On
the 19th of July, 2017, the applicants filed an application in this
Court for Injunction as members of the Ofro Osro No Yaa Kpee seeking the
following reliefs:<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;
