A recent High Court decision in Koforidua has resolved a long-standing land dispute in Berekuso, Eastern Region, Ghana. The court ruled in favor of the Aduana Abrade family of Asabi, declaring them the rightful owners of a large tract of land in the area.
The disputed land, situated at Asabi-Berekuso, spans approximately 409.17 acres and is bounded by lands owned by Mankralo, Onyaakesease, Dedeikrom, and the NII Ngleshie Addy Stool.
The court’s decision also perpetually enjoined Comet Properties Limited, the defendant, from dealing with any land beyond the limits specified in Exhibits “7” and “C”.
