describes himself as the head of the Onamrokor Adain family of the Gbese
Quarter of Accra whose family are the allodial owners of lands in Accra
generally referred to as Dome lands which include Tesano, Apenkwa, Achimota,
Alogboshie, Tantra Hill, Taifa, Dome, Kwabenya amongst others. The plaintiff
asserts that his family’s ownership of Dome lands has been upheld in several
court cases.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The plaintiff
further asserts that the defendants have entered his family lands and commenced
the construction of a structure on the land without their consent and authority
and as such the defendants are squatters. The plaintiff is therefore seeking
the court’s intervention to evict the defendants from the land by seeking the
following reliefs against them:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;
