The Numo Kofi Anum Family of Teshie has issued a formal pre-litigation notice to the RGEA Homeowners Association regarding ownership of approximately 123 acres of land at the East Airport Residential Area in Accra.
Lawyers for the family, Azizbamba & Associates, say the land in dispute covers the communities of Silver Bells, Golden Gate 1, Golden Gate 2, and parts of Platinum Estates.
In a letter dated March 2, 2026, addressed to the Executive Committee of the RGEA Homeowners Association, the family’s legal representatives stated that ownership of the land has already been conclusively determined by Ghana’s courts.
According to the lawyers, the High Court first ruled in favour of the Numo Kofi Anum Family in 2009. That decision was subsequently upheld by the Court of Appeal in 2012 and later affirmed by the Supreme Court in 2014, confirming the family’s allodial title to the land.
The lawyers further noted that on March 28, 2024, the High Court again reaffirmed the family’s title and directed that valuation and negotiations be conducted within twelve months, failing which the family would be at liberty to recover possession of the land.
The letter states that members of the RGEA Homeowners Association who acquired their properties through Regimanuel-Gray Limited derive their interests from the company and are therefore legally bound by the earlier court rulings.
The family argues that continued occupation of the land without formal recognition of its ownership amounts to trespass.
As part of the pre-litigation notice, the family is demanding that the Association and affected homeowners comply with several requirements within 14 days of receiving the letter.
These include recognising the Numo Kofi Anum Family as the lawful allodial owners of the land;
Indicating their willingness to regularise their occupation;
Beginning discussions toward structured ground rent arrangements and providing a verified register of all affected homeowners, including plot identification and property descriptions.
The lawyers also indicated that each house or developed unit on the land would be expected to agree in principle to the payment of annual ground rent, subject to valuation and formal documentation through the Numo Kofi Anum Family lawyers.
The family warned that failure to respond within the stipulated period would result in legal proceedings being initiated without further notice.
Possible reliefs to be sought in court include declarations affirming the family’s ownership, orders for recovery of possession of the land, payment of mesne profits, damages for trespass, interest at commercial rates, and legal costs.
Despite the warning, the family says it remains open to engagement with the homeowners.
“Our client is prepared to engage constructively and adopt a structured and humane approach to regularisation,” the lawyers stated in the letter.
They also indicated that homeowners who purchased properties through Regimanuel-Gray Limited may pursue indemnity or contribution from the company if they deem it necessary.
