A legal dispute has emerged over the alleged double sale of lands located at East Legon Hills, involving the management of MOS Property Consultancy Limited and three Siblings accused of reselling plots that had already been purchased and registered.
According to the new Managing Director of MOS Property Consultancy Limited, David Kantong, the matter concerns lands that were originally acquired by his late brother, Johnson Salifu Tommie, who was formerly the Managing Director of the company.
Mr. Kantong, who is also a member of the Ghana Real Estate Developers Association, stated that his late brother purchased 10 plots of land from Nii Quartey Paperfio, Joseph Quartey Papafio, and Ernestina Quartey Papafio at East Legon Hills several years ago.
He explained that after the purchase, Johnson Salifu Tommie reportedly completed all the necessary registration processes at the Lands Commission and also fenced the property to establish ownership and secure the land.
However, following the death of Johnson Salifu Tommie, Mr. Kantong alleged that the same sellers published notices asking individuals who had purchased land from the late managing director to come for authentication of their documents.
According to him, some clients who had legitimately acquired portions of the land from the late businessman responded to the publication and visited the individuals for verification. He alleged that the land was subsequently resold to some of those same buyers, resulting in multiple ownership claims over the same plots.
Mr. Kantong further stated that the matter was first reported to the Ghana Police Service at the Adenta Police Station, where arrests were initially made. The case was later transferred to the Accra Central Police Station for further investigations.
He said the accused persons are currently on police bail while investigations continue into the allegations.
The dispute has reportedly created uncertainty among some land buyers and residents connected to the affected properties at East Legon Hills.
As investigations proceed, authorities are expected to determine the ownership status of the disputed lands and establish whether any criminal wrongdoing occurred in the alleged double sale transactions.
Land litigation and multiple sales of the same property continue to be major concerns within Ghana’s real estate sector, with many industry players calling for stricter verification processes and stronger protection for property buyers.
