The Numo Kofi Anum Family of Teshie has issued a formal pre-litigation notice to the RGEA Homeowners Association over the ownership of approximately 123 acres of land located within the East Airport Residential Area in Accra.
Lawyers representing the family, Azizbamba & Associates, say the land in dispute covers several residential communities including 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 indicated that ownership of the land has already been conclusively determined by Ghana’s courts.
According to the lawyers, the High Court initially ruled in favour of the Numo Kofi Anum Family in 2009. That judgment 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 legal team further explained that on March 28, 2024, the High Court again reaffirmed the family’s ownership and directed that valuation and negotiations be conducted within twelve months. The court ruling also indicated that if negotiations failed within the stipulated period, the family would be at liberty to recover possession of the land.
The lawyers stated 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 decisions.
According to the family, continued occupation of the land without formally recognising their ownership constitutes trespass.
As part of the pre-litigation notice, the family is demanding that the Association and affected homeowners comply with several conditions within fourteen 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, and beginning discussions toward a structured ground rent arrangement.
The homeowners are also expected to provide a verified register of all affected property owners, including plot identification and property descriptions.
The lawyers indicated that each developed property or housing unit on the land would be expected to agree in principle to the payment of annual ground rent. This arrangement would be subject to valuation and formal documentation through the lawyers of the Numo Kofi Anum Family.
The family warned that failure to respond within the stipulated fourteen-day period would lead to the commencement of legal proceedings without further notice.
Possible reliefs that may be sought in court include declarations affirming the family’s ownership of the land, orders for recovery of possession, payment of mesne profits, damages for trespass, interest at commercial rates, and legal costs.
Despite the warning of potential legal action, the family has indicated that it remains open to engagement and dialogue 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.
The legal representatives further suggested that homeowners who purchased their properties through Regimanuel-Gray Limited may consider pursuing indemnity or contribution from the company if they believe it is necessary.
The dispute is expected to draw significant attention within the East Airport Residential Area, where several high-value residential developments are located.
