A Kumasi High Court (Land Division) last Thursday, March 4, 2021 dismissed an injunction application filed by the Chief of Ahinsan and his Krontihene, Nana Dwumahene Ankoana III and Nana Owusu Domi restraining the Assemblyman for Ahinsan Estate Electoral Area and the Assembly from using a piece of land for a police post.
The action was also to restrain the Assemblyman from using lands acquired by the government for the project, for which the government had duly paid over GH¢3,000,000 in full as compensation to Nananom.
The land in question is currently in the hands of the Asokwa Municipal Assembly (ASKMA) and houses an ultra modern Police Post built and furnished by Nana Yaw Wiredu, the Assemblyman for the area.
The Police Post, which comprises an office for the station officer and charge office serves as a snap-check point and patrolling in the residential community where petty thievery and robberies had been rampant.
The plaintiff chiefs argued that in spite of the compensation received on the same piece of land from the Government of Ghana, the said lands acquired almost a decade ago by the government in the Ahinsan Estate locality still belonged to them.
But Justice Samuel Obeng-Diawuo, presiding over the court, dismissed the case and further awarded a cost of GH¢8,000.00 to the defendant Assemblyman, Nana Yaw Wiredu.
The court described the injunction application as baseless and lacked merit.
The defendant noted that the injunction application was ill conceived since what the plaintiff sought to do was without merit and basis.
