</div>The Agbawe clan of La has six families under it; the Owusu
We, Kpoti We, Kplen We, Asua We, Awua We
and Otopa We. Each family has its
land distinct from the other. The 1st Plaintiff's granter (2nd
Plaintiff) is from the Owusu We
whiles the 1st Defendant's granter (2nd Defendant) is from the Kplen We. The battle is therefore between two siblings to determine which sibling has a
legitimate claim to the disputed land. The two
siblings of the Agbawe clan ie the
Owusu We and the Kplen We stand by their respective grantors.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Plaintiffs case is that the 2ND Plaintiff is the lawful representative
of the Agbawe Owusu We family of
Oyarifa. The parcel of land demised to the 1ST Plaintiff forms part
of phase 1 of Owusu We family land
and the land of the Owusu We is
described as all that piece or parcel of land
situate, lying and being at between
mile 13 and 14, Oyarifa, along the
Accra-Aburi road and known as phase one, containing an approximate area of
265.96 acres more or less and bounded to the
north-east by the property of the Kplen We family of the Agbawe
clan, to the south by the
property of the Kplen We family of the Agbawe clan, to the west by the Accra-Aburi road and to the north
by the property of the Agbawe clan. <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;It is the case of the 2ND Plaintiff that the Owusu We
family has made grants of portions of the said
land to various people including the 1ST Plaintiff and those people have lived on the land for
several years without interference from any person or their families. The 1ST
Plaintiff entered into a lease agreement with the 2ND Plaintiff who
is the lawful representative of the Agbawe Owusu We
family of Oyarifa of a piece
of land described as "ALL THAT PIECE
OR PARCEL OF LAND situate, lying and being </main>
