The Numo Kofi Anum family of Tesa has officially reclaimed ownership of a significant stretch of land previously held by Regimanuel Grey Limited, following a recent High Court judgment and possession order. The ruling brings closure to a land dispute that has spanned over three decades.
Speaking on behalf of the family, Numo Amu Amu Wulemo, a traditional leader and spokesperson, explained that in 1991, the family entrusted the land to Regimanuel Grey Limited under an agreement to develop it into a modern real estate enclave. However, according to the family, the company paid only GH₵2,000 for the large tract of land and has since failed to honour its obligations.
“For 33 years, they neither developed the land as promised nor fulfilled their financial commitments to the family,” Wulemo stated. “We remained patient for years, but after persistent violations, we had no choice but to seek justice through the courts.”
On June 24, 2025, the High Court ruled in favour of the family, directing Regimanuel Grey Limited to release 123 acres of undeveloped land back to its rightful owners. The judgment was followed by formal possession procedures, during which court bailiffs served both parties.
Despite the court’s decision, the family claims the company has since resorted to obstructive tactics to prevent them from taking peaceful possession of the land. Wulemo alleged that Regimanuel Grey Limited has deployed landguards to intimidate and block the family from accessing the property, which is part of the Regimanuel Golden Gate and Platinum Gate Estates.
“This conduct shows a blatant disregard for the authority of the court and amounts to provocation,” he said. “Our intention is not to disrupt or evict anyone lawfully residing in developed areas. We are simply reclaiming the undeveloped 123 acres that the court has declared ours.”
Wulemo further revealed that the company recently proposed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at resolving the dispute. However, the family rejected it, describing its terms as unfair and inconsistent with the court’s ruling.
“The MoU was not offered in good faith,” he said. “It ignored the court’s judgment and failed to address the family’s rightful claims.”
The Numo Kofi Anum family is now appealing to President John Dramani Mahama and the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Tetteh Yohonu, to intervene and help ensure the court’s ruling is enforced peacefully and without intimidation.
“We have faith in Ghana’s judicial system, and now we ask the President and the IGP to help uphold the rule of law so this matter can be resolved without further conflict,” Wulemo added.
The family maintains that beyond recovering the land, their pursuit is about honouring their ancestors and reinforcing the principle that justice must prevail, even after decades of waiting.
