ADOLPH TETTEH WEEPS
…As Supreme Court’s 5–0 Ruling Overturns His Land Empire and Vindicates Anas!
By Our Court Reporter
He arrived at the Supreme Court draped in a flowing all-white kaftan radiant, triumphant, and surrounded by a small entourage of media men capturing his every stride.
For his supporters, Wednesday was meant to be the coronation of a man who had styled himself as the “King of Tseado.”
But within minutes of the Supreme Court beginning to read its unanimous 5–0 judgment, Adolph Tetteh Adjei’s world began to crumble.
THE COURTROOM DRAMA
As the Justices delivered a blistering legal demolition invalidating every inch of Tetteh’s claim to the disputed Tseado land the mood in the courtroom shifted sharply.
His lawyer, Bright Atoko, looked visibly shaken, confused, and frozen as he flipped helplessly through his documents.
Meanwhile, David Ametefe and Odei Krow, lawyers for Anas, quietly gathered their papers.
No smiles. No chest-thumping.
Just disciplined professionals stepping out calmly knowing the law had spoken with unmistakable authority.
Tetteh, however, began visibly falling apart.
His face drained of colour.
His fingers trembled. Then his legs.
He clasped his head and whispered:
“No… no… this cannot be happening.”
When the Court reached the decisive line
“The interest acquired by the appellant, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, earlier in time under customary law prevails over the purported registration of the respondent.”
Tetteh abruptly stood, bolted out of the courtroom, and broke down in the corridor.
“LORD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?”
Witnesses recount that he cried out:
“This is not fair! Lord, why have you forsaken me? Is this my end? How am I going to handle this?”
His invited media entourage—who had come expecting celebratory soundbites—quietly melted away from the premises the moment defeat became apparent.
And his breakdown was not merely emotional.
It was existential fear.
Because the ruling did not only destroy his claim to the disputed plot
it effectively nullified his claim to more than 33 acres acquired through the same defective and fraudulent channels.
No legitimate title.
No ownership.
No empire.
The “King of Tseado” had been dethroned.
THE POLITICAL AND MEDIA CAMPAIGN THAT BACKFIRED
For years, Adolf Tetteh did not limit his fight to the courtroom.
He waged a political and media war.
Alliance with Kennedy Agyapong
He teamed up openly with NPP Presidential Aspirant Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, appearing on Net 2 TV and other platforms, branding Anas as:
• a thief
• a land grabber
• a fraud
despite the case pending before the courts.
On Net 2 TV, Tetteh hurled insults at Anas, spinning narratives and even falsely claiming he had “demolished Anas’s building because he was a thief” an event that never occurred.
Exporting the narrative to U.S. Courts
In the U.S. defamation case involving Kennedy Agyapong, his legal team attempted to use this same land dispute to discredit Anas.
The attempt was dismissed outright as irrelevant.
Justice Eric Baah, in his controversial defamation ruling against Anas, also referred to this land dispute wrongly labeling Anas a thief and a land grabber, despite the case being very far from concluded.
Today’s unanimous ruling has flipped that narrative on its head.
THE SUPREME COURT’S LEGAL EARTHQUAKE
In a devastating analysis, the Supreme Court ruled that:
• Anas’s 2005 customary land grant is valid and superior.
• The respondent’s 2015 registered title is void, perverse, and cancelled.
• Hillsview Development’s root of title was illegal, relying on a single trustee in violation of Act 106.
• The transaction was pendente lite, carrying a clear badge of fraud.
• Customary ownership overrides registration under Ghanaian law.
• The land families remained in lawful, continuous possession.
• Successive transfers were attempts to sidestep and dispossess the rightful owners.
Senior lawyer Stephen Boateng summed it up:
“This is a complete legal earthquake. Every pillar of the respondent’s case has collapsed.”
REACTIONS FROM LEGAL PRACTITIONERS
Odei Krow (Counsel for Anas):
“The law was always on our side. The Court has simply affirmed what the facts clearly established.”
David Ametefe (Lead Counsel for Anas):
“This is a victory for legitimacy, for customary law, and for truth. The case exposed a chain of transactions designed to override rightful ownership.”
A senior Land Law Lecturer at the Ghana School of Law observed:
“This judgment will be quoted for decades. It settles decisively that registration cannot defeat earlier customary ownership.”
Sources close to Bright Atoko, lawyer for Adolf, whispered only:
“We may file a review… but we have to study the ruling.”
A LAST-GASP REVIEW ATTEMPT
Sources indicate that Tetteh and his team are preparing to file a review hoping to persuade all five Justices to reverse themselves.
A virtually impossible task given the unanimity, clarity, and depth of the judgment.
One source put it bluntly:
“He is devastated. Over 33 acres… all gone. He cannot accept it.”
THE FALL OF A SELF-PROCLAIMED KING
In the end, the man who walked into court like a conqueror left shattered and dethroned.
The cameras he summoned vanished.
The political allies disappeared.
Even his media supporters fled.
And the Supreme Court has now spoken with finality:
• Anas’s rights stand.
• The respondent’s claims collapse.
• The so-called King of Tseado rules over nothing.
A 12-year drama has ended—
and the truth, as always, has prevailed.
In Labadi, spontaneous celebrations erupted.
Residents reportedly held a night vigil in honour of the victory particularly the families of Ataa Tawia Tsinatse and Numo Ofoli Quashi, represented by Holy Quaye in the case.
