Plaintiffs case

Plaintiffs herein are the administrators of the late Alfred Numo, their deceased

father.

The said Alfred Numo acquired a freehold interest of 14.51 acres of land from the

Kudjragbe tribe of Big Ada on the 6th August, 1946 and was issued with an Indenture

marked as “Exhibit C” and the said land is situate and lying at Big Ada District in

the then Eastern Province of the Gold Coast Colony and bounded on the North by

footpath and Kudjragbe tribal land and measuring Three Hundred and Ninety-Five

feet (395.0’) more or less and partly by the property of Wornor Tetteh Apeyii

measuring Five Hundred and Sixty-Four feet (564.0’) more or less on the East by the

Volta river measuring Eight Hundred feet (800.0’) more or less and on the West by

Kudjragbe land measuring Six Hundred feet (600.0’) more or less.

It is Plaintiffs’ contention that after their late father acquired the land, he took

possession of the land and built a dwelling house on the land and used part for

farming.

It is Plaintiffs’ case that the land in dispute has since been registered at the Land

Registry with Certificate No. T
