</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The case of the Plaintiff as captured
by his Statement of Claim is that he is the Gbese Mantse who was installed as
such on 27th April, 2007 and gazetted on the 20th day of
March, 2013 in the National Register of Chiefs. And that he brings this action
for himself and on behalf of the Gbese Stool.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>That&nbsp;
the 1st Defendant is a man who holds himself out as a Gbese
Stool subject by reason that he belongs to the Akwashong section of Gbese
(which is headed by Kwashong-tse Nii Aryee Ardefio), and further hails from
Nyale Abordiamor We of the Dzaase Section of Gbese.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The 2nd Defendant is a
building contractor employed by the 1st Defendant and is engaged in
the construction of the building, the subject matter of this action.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>It is the case of the Plaintiff that
the 1st Defendant has without the leave and license of the Plaintiff
the allodial owner of all Gbese Stool land including, in particular, ALL THAT
piece or parcel of land known as H/No. D.571/13, Zongo Lane, Accra, or
howsoever else known or called, unlawfully, entered and trespassed on the said
piece of land and is unlawfully constructing a building thereon through the 2nd
Defendant as his contractor.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>That the Defendants have ignored and
continued to ignore written and oral invitations to them to cease all building
operations on the land in dispute and to approach the Plaintiff for an amicable
settlement, but they have continued their said trespass.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Based on these facts the Plaintiff
instituted the present action claiming the following reliefs against the
Defendants:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A
declaration of the Gbese Stool’s allodial title to ALL THAT piece and parcel of
land situate at Zongo Lane known as H/No. D571/3, Zongo Lane, Accra.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>
