An Accra High Court in Suit No: LD/1227/2019 granting an Order for Interlocutory Injunction, has ordered the police chiefs and their allies not to venture onto the said land.
In a Writ filed by Enoch Francis Annan Tetteh (Plaintiff) on September, 26, 2019 in support of Motion on Notice for an Order for Interlocutory Injunction, the Plaintiff claimed the Defendants; Sarah Agyaa Forkuo, Rosemary Thompson, The Attorney General Office, Inspector General of Police, ACP Kwesi Ofori and ACP Pabi Gariba have been interfering on the Okpon We family land.
The action the Plaintiff indicated was being led by Sarah Agyaa Forkuo who is using the police to go onto the land to create confusion and to harass occupant on the land.
