</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Plaintiff’s
case is that by a lease dated 14th May 2008, he acquired the land in
dispute from the Kplen We Family of Agbawe for a term of ninety nine years.
Before acquiring the land, he conducted an official search, the results of
which, revealed that a section of the land was affected by a transaction. He
therefore proceeded to register the unencumbered part which measured 1.392
acres. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>In
the process of registering the unencumbered part of the land, he received a
letter from the Director of the Land Title Registry notifying him of a multiple
request for survey and preparation of parcel plan on the land in dispute
affecting Plaintiff and Princeton Multipurpose Ltd. He therefore contacted his
grantors, who admitted that they had earlier granted a larger parcel of land
within which the section they had sold to Plaintiff fell, to Princeton
Multipurpose Ltd. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Eventually,
Princeton Multipurpose Ltd transferred title in the affected piece of land to
the Plaintiff and the Plaintiff obtained a land certificate covering the
affected area. According to the Plaintiff, while waiting for the issuance of
his land certificate, his caretaker informed him of construction works being
carried out by 2nd Defendant on his land. The Plaintiff claims that
his warnings to the 2nd Defendant to desist from working on the land
in dispute fell on deaf ears as the 2nd Defendant succeeded in
putting up a two storey building on the land in dispute. According to the Plaintiff,
while efforts were being made to stop the 2nd Defendant from further
encroaching on the Plaintiff’s land, the 1st Defendant also emerged
and began to construct a two storey building on another section of Plaintiff’s
land in complete disregard of all warnings to desist from her acts of trespass.
The Plaintiff is therefore seeking the Court’s intervention to grant the
following reliefs against the Defendants;<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Declaration of title to the land in
dispute<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <!--[endi</main>
