case of the Plaintiffs is that on the 5th day of February, 2014 the
Defendants executed a Court Order for Demolition dated the 19th day
of July, 2013 which Demolition Order was granted in the case of Nii Nikoi Olai

Plaintiffs further averred that they were not parties to the said suit and that
the said Demolition Order did not indicate where the demolition was to take
place.<o:p></o:p>It is

Mona Family and built their houses several years ago after the High Court made
orders in favour of the Awuley Mona Family.<o:p></o:p>Based
on these facts the Plaintiffs per their Amended Statement of Claim dated 15th
April, 2014 claim against the Defendants the following reliefs:<o:p></o:p>A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
