</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Before me is a motion on notice for an
order to strike out 2nd Plaintiff’s pleadings for want of reasonable
cause of action and to disjoin the 2nd Plaintiff from the suit as no
longer being a necessary party to the suit. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>In the affidavit in support of the
instant application, the 4th Defendant who deposed to the contents
of the affidavit stated that he had been advised by his lawyer and believed same
to be true that a careful reading of paragraphs 11, 12, 13 and 14 of the Plaintiffs
statement of claim reveals that the 2nd Plaintiff has no interest
whatsoever in the land in dispute to ground a cause of action against the Defendants.
The said paragraphs were reproduced as follows;<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>11. Upon acquisition of its 648.58
acres of land from the 1st Plaintiff’s family, 2nd Plaintiff
invested huge resources to survey the land, fix its boundary pillars,
demarcated same and generated a site plan for execution of the deed of lease
and built a single room site office on same all in the self-same year 2004. The
2nd Plaintiff later marketed and sold the entire land to the Ghana
Fire Service Staff Association and the parties reached an arrangement by which
the 2nd Plaintiff was to register the said land in its name for the
Fire Service Staff Association.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>12. The Fire Service Staff Association
has also granted the entire 648.58 acres to its numerous Association members by
either sub leases or assignment most of whom have built their dwelling houses
with the meagre civil service resources whilst several others have reached
various levels and stages of their future residential building without any let
or hindrance over the year from 2005 to date. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>13. The Plaintiffs say sometime in
2019, the 2nd, 3rd and 5th Defendants (acting
representative of the 4th Defendant as well) without their consent
and authority led groups of disgruntled people including land guards to
encroach portions of the 648.58 acres land granted to the 2nd Plaintiff
as well as considerable portion of the Otsebleku lands (Otsebleku village)
adjoining the 648.58 acre land granted to 2nd Plaintiff and
ultimately to the Fire Service Staff Association.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>14. Whereupon the 1s</main>
