</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The Plaintiffs caused their lawyer to
issue a writ of summons against the 1st and 2nd Defendants.
Eventually, the 3rd Defendant was also joined to the suit. By their
Further Amended Statement of Claim, the Plaintiffs claimed that they acquired
two (2) parcels of land located at Nmai Dzorn from the Okpelor Sowah Din Family
acting by their head and lawful representative, Eugene Odametey Sowah. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The first parcel of land represented in
schedule A, consisted of two (2) plots of land which the 1st Plaintiff
developed by constructing the foundation of a six (6) bedroom house on one plot
and a four (4) bedroom building up to gable level on the second plot. The said
plot has been described as all that piece or parcel of land situate, lying or
being at South Nmai-Dzorn, Tema Rural Accra of the Greater Accra Region of the
Republic of Ghana containing an approximate area of 0.30 acre and bounded on
the North-East by proposed road measuring 159.5 feet more or less on the South-West
open space measuring 160.4 feet more or less, on the North-East by lessor’s
land measuring 94.7 feet more or less on the South-East by proposed road
measuring 101.2 feet more or less.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The 2nd Plaintiff also built
a wall around her plot which is represented in schedule B and described as all
that piece or parcel of land situate lying and being at South Nmai-Dzorn, Tema
Rural Area of the Greater Accra Region of the Republic of Ghana containing an
approximate area of 0.19 acre and bounded on the North-East by proposed road
measuring 94.1 feet more or less, on the South-West open space measuring 85.5
feet more or less on the North-West by lessor’s land measuring 90.5 feet more
or less and the South-East by proposed road measuring 90.5 feet more or less.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The Plaintiffs’ case is that the 1st
Defendant destroyed the structures put up by the 1st Plaintiff while
the 2nd Defendant took over the 2nd Plaintiff’s land,
completed the wall and built his house within the wall.&nbsp; The Plaintiffs also claim that the 3rd
Defendant was the one who sold the 2nd Plaintiff’s plot to the 2nd
Defendant. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The Plaintiffs further claim that after
acquiring the land in dispute, they submitted their documents to the Land Title
Registry for title registration. &nbsp;After a
publication was made in the Weekly Spectator of 16th June 2007, the
process was stalled due to a litigation among members of their grantor family. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>
