The Sino Africa Development Company Limited has issued a public notice cautioning against land deals with certain individuals following a Supreme Court ruling in its favour. The notice, dated October 8, 2026, advises people who acquired and developed portions of the disputed land at Borteyman in the Greater Accra Region to submit their title documents for clarification. The company has given individuals 30 days to contact them or their solicitors to establish how the judgment affects their acquisitions.
The Supreme Court ruling, delivered on June 3, 2026, overturned a majority decision of the Court of Appeal dated March 27, 2025. The case concerns two parcels of land at Borteyman, also known as Nungua Farms, in Tema, covering approximately 328.877 acres. The court declared title to the land in favour of Sino Africa, subject to an exception for a parcel claimed by Royal Bell Investments Limited and Terraform Development Limited.
The public notice warns against buying, leasing, or accepting grants of portions of the disputed land from five defendants in the case or anyone claiming through them. The defendants include Nii Adzogah Annang Laryea, Nii Odaifio Mensah, Nii Asafoatse Okum Agyemang II, Richard Nii Alabi Bortey, and Benjamin Borketey Borteye Seysey. Sino Africa has urged prospective buyers and interested parties to exercise caution and avoid transactions involving the affected land through these individuals.
The Supreme Court judgment imposes a perpetual restraint on the five defendants and anyone claiming through them to interfere with the land declared in Sino Africa's favour. The company has stated that any person who transacts with these individuals after the notice date does so at their own risk. Existing developers have been asked to provide copies of their title documents when contacting Sino Africa or its solicitors within the 30-day period.
The request for title documents is intended to clarify the judgment's implications for interests acquired before June 3, 2026. A certified true copy of the Supreme Court judgment and a site plan of the land are available for inspection at Sino Africa's solicitors' offices during normal working hours. This move aims to provide clarity and transparency in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling.
The disputed land has been a subject of contention, with various parties claiming interests in it. The Supreme Court ruling has provided a significant development in the case, and Sino Africa is taking steps to ensure that its rights are protected. The company's public notice is a warning to individuals and entities to exercise caution when dealing with the land.
The case highlights the importance of verifying the authenticity of land transactions and the need for due diligence in property dealings. Individuals and entities are advised to be cautious and seek professional advice before engaging in any land transactions involving the disputed area. The Sino Africa Development Company Limited is committed to upholding its rights and interests in the land.
