The Nii Odai Ntow Family of Ashongman in the Ga East Municipality of the Greater Accra Region has appealed to the Lands Commission to revisit the 1904 judgment of the Supreme Court on the Nii Odai Ntow Family Lands.
They believe that reviewing this judgment will help ascertain the exact boundaries before proceeding with the intended demarcation exercise.
According to the family, there is no dispute about the true ownership of their land. However, the boundaries have become an issue of dispute.
They believe this can be resolved effectively if the Commission refers to the Supreme Court judgment on the case titled Bosumpim and Ors Vs. Martei and Ors in suit No. SCT.2/4/32, dated April 28, 1904.
Addressing a news conference at the Nii Odai Ntow Family House at Ashongman on Saturday, the General Secretary of the family, Hislord Tettey Anang, said the 1904 Supreme Court judgment affirmed that their family was the rightful and legitimate owner of the 12,690 acres of land in the Ashongman Kwabenya enclave.
