#Resaleofland - Collusion with the Land Commission

Roberta Ama Anokye's property Roberta Ama Anokye's property

My name is Roberta Ama Anokye, I am a practising solicitor in England and Wales.

I write this press release to all the press as my official statement for the news, media and beyond.

I am completely, totally disgusted and sick to the core and helpless!!!

My family and I have been under immense tautness because of the criminal activities of Dr. Harry Kporno-Dawson and his gang involving, the Police, lawyers, Tema High Court Judge Emmanuel Ankamah, The Lands Commission, Adjei Michael, Nii Samuel Mensah Adjei Shia, of the Akwraboye Doku family of Atreko We-Teshie for the fraudulent resale of our land at Otano Agiringano.

My uncle Mr Sam Atakorah and I bought two plots of land each in 2001 from Buildaff Limited, Abu. I immediately took possession of the land, built a full size wall to protect and demarcate the boundary of my land. I further built a single room dwelling on the Land and always placed a paid caretaker on the land.

I also without delay in the same year started my land registration process and was finally completed with land title certificate.

Lands Commission's involvement, Lawyer Yaa Boadi Director of Lands Commission

My uncle sold his 2 plots to two individuals and it was at this transfer stage in 2019, it was discovered that the Land Registry at my title stage made an error on the cadastral plan and swapped my land with my uncle’s plot no 4 instead of my plot parcel no. 8376 Block plot 6 section situate at Otano on the land registry map.

I immediately made an attempt to resolve the issue, the land registry has been trying to find my records/docket with them for some strange reasons to date.

This error by the Land Registry is what the Spedee Empire Ltd a fictitious company formed by one D. Harry Kporn Dawson, his foreman by name TT (Francis Tetteh) and cohorts are fraudulently using as their so-called legitimate claim to the Land I have occupied and have peacefully enjoyed for 22years.

Land Registry/Commission have colluded with them to register my same registered land to Spedee Empire Ltd.

I wrote to the Director of Land’s Commission Ms Yaa Boadi on 01/09/22 and visited them and met their head of Legal Mr Nuhum in 11/22 where it was confirmed in a meeting by the head of their technical department of their mistake, they were to have a meeting about it and take the necessary action to rectify their mistake.

I gave them copies of my records as at that time my docket could still not be found by them. They have failed to officially respond to my letter and has to date not written to me about my visit either and how they intend to correct their action.

Nii Samuel Mensah Adjei and Adjei Mike

Interestingly, the Land was acquired twice by my grantors Buidaff Limited firstly, from this same Akwraboye Doku family of Teshie and was witnessed by same Adjei Mike in 1999 then subsequently by the Family head Seth Laryea Mensah Ashong of Mlitse family of the Odaitei Tae We family of Teshie who at the time also had a court order and were the Superior Title holders of the same said Land and was by an arrangement by the same Akwraboye Doku family led by Adjei Mike, arranged to sign another indenture for my grantor, therefore, the Akwraboye Doku family by obtaining a court order does not have right to the same land they had already sold and we have occupied for over 22 years, left alone to resell it.

Resale of land of any kind is fraudulent under the laws of Ghana and the legitimacy of this transaction should be investigated, questioned and examined by the Police, Adjei Mike has confessed that he visited the land and met my caretaker in 2021 just before his demise.

Spedee empire Ltd a company incorporated in 2019, is claiming its directors bought the same land in 2015, with a backdated indenture stamped at the high court in 2020 and lodged at the land registry and registered in 2022 but was never put to possession of the said land, until appearing and knocking on the gate for the first time and precisely on the 18th of July 2022, and the next day the 19th they came back broke my gate along with my solid pillar fences and forced their way into my land with thugs threatening my new care taker to hand over my keys to them or what happened to the first caretaker will happen to him too.

They then gathered all my belongings, along with my caretakers and set everything on fire and took over the land. Imagine this, in today modern Ghana (Freedom and Justice) whose freedom and what justice?

Although the land registry made an error with the block number of the land registry map, Land searches reveal my name at the Land registry to date with the said plots, how did the directors of Spedee Empire Company Limited overcome those requisitions and got a Land certificate within that miraculous short time, whiles conveniently, my entire docket at the Land Registry goes missing.

The same land commission finally wrote to me on the 7th of December 2023 and now confirmed their error in writing but have failed to rectify their so-called mistake, for this atrocity to continue.

My biggest concern is that my caretaker James in November 2021 was found unconscious stark naked in his vomit and feces in the late morning, the gate to the land and his door was unlocked.

We rushed him to Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research, where we were told a scan revealed bleeding in his brain and he sadly died a week later in the hospital, to which I am overwhelmed with grief.

Unfortunately, James could not live to tell his story, and I fear these same people, who threatened my current caretaker to leave the land and hand over my keys might be responsible for what happened to James.

They have driven out my caretaker and have built a house on 1/4 portion of the land within 6 weeks and one of the wives of Dr Dawson has taken possession of the house and left 3/4 portion of the land.

Whilst the matter is in Tema High Court, we were able to stop them, and the idea is for all parties to refrain from any development of the land until the substantive hearing to determine the rightful owners. I also petitioned the police and land fraud for assistance to no avail.

On Saturday the 13th of July Dr. has returned to demolish my walls and has removed my gate, without a demolishing order and has rebuilt a tall wall and gate with the plan to develop the rest of the land discreetly.

Dr. Dawson refused to stop building when the police were called and continue to build as I write.

My only hope of assistance is to get in the press to feature an article on this criminal of a character on all media platforms and to get the help needed to get this masquerading thug of a Dr off my land.
