“The court further indicated that, 114 acres of the disputed area belonged to the Government of Ghana. It is worthy to note that, Empire builders subsequently purchased and paid Government of Ghana for the said 114 acres of land for its development…,” the release said further.
However, the management of Empire Builders alleged further that Top Kings has further encroached on acres of land that does not fall under its titleship while collaborating in flagrant disregard and contravention of the apex court’s ruling.
Interestingly, Top Kings with the assistance of a notable media personality is courting public sympathy and accusing Empire Builders of preventing them from peacefully enjoying their property.
