</div>&nbsp;RULING ON MOTION ON NOTICE FOR AN ORDER
OF INTERLOCUTORY INJUNCTION AGAINST THE 5TH DEFENDANT <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The plaintiff/applicant requests&nbsp; the Court for an order of interlocutory
injunction against the 5th defendant/respondent on the ground that
the 5th defendant /respondent has entered the land of the plaintiff
with the help of thugs and has commenced development on the said land at a
rather fast pace .&nbsp; The plaintiff/applicant
says reports he lodged with the police have largely been ignored by the police.<o:p></o:p>The 5th defendant is opposed
to the application. He states through his lawful attorney that he acquired this
land from the Nii Djan family the very family which the plaintiff/applicant claims
to be the family head.&nbsp; The attorney of
the 5th defendant/respondent says further that the 5th
defendant has a land title certificate in respect of the land which he acquired
from the plaintiff’s family and also that the plaintiff is only harassing
persons who are already on the land.<o:p></o:p>This Court, on the 19th of
November 2019 in its ruling, refused an application for interlocutory
injunction brought by the 5th defendant on the ground that the grant
of an injunction would serve no useful purpose.&nbsp;
However considering the further events that are unfolding in this matter
to the extent that police men are being called in to maintain the peace, this
Court is of the opinion that in order to safeguard lives and property in the interim,
an order of interlocutory injunction will not be misplaced.<o:p></o:p>The Court therefore grants the
application for interlocutory injunction and orders that both the plaintiff and
the 5th defendant are restrained from dealing with the land the
subject matter of this dispute pending the final determination of the
substantive suit.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;(SGD)<o:p></o:p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:
