When Justice Becomes a Weapon: The Growing Crisis of Property Dispossession
In Accra’s bustling Court 5 of the General Jurisdiction Division of the High Court, Accra, a case is unfolding that speaks to a larger, troubling reality in Ghana’s land administration and justice system.

This is not an isolated incident. Across the country, stories abound of individuals discovering that their homes or lands have been taken over through judgments in suits they were never party to. The mechanism is often the same: a writ of possession issued in favor of one party, executed against another who was not involved in the litigation.
