Rigworld Group and Titanium 123 Properties Limited are engaged in a turf war over a 22.36-acre parcel of land in Prampram.
According to reports both parties in the land dispute, Kofi Amoa-Abban of Ringworld Group and real estate firm Titanium 123 Properties Limited have been issuing public statements claiming ownership of the 22.36-acre parcel of land in Prampram.
On Tuesday, April 8 armed police officers with 100 suspected land guards demolished perimeter walls, foundations, and site offices using heavy machinery, including a grader on the 22.36-acre site.
According to the developer, Christian Kpakpo Abbosey the demolition was done by disregarding a July 2024 High Court order which granted Titanium 123 Properties Limited to continue construction activities on the land.
The real estate developer alleged that the Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Malaika-Jabril Alhassan and businessman, Kofi Amoa-Abban unlawfully demolished the property worth over GH¢1 million in Prampram.
Mr Abban of Rigworld Group has issued a rejoinder in response to recent media reports, while Titanium 123 has petitioned the National Security Secretariat, raising alarm over what it labels as state-backed intimidation and police misconduct.
The Rigworld Group rejoinder stated, “To clarify,” he wrote, “a court injunction prevents both Titanium 123 Properties and Kofi Abban Holdings from carrying out any activity on the land. However, the injunction expressly allows third-party grantees of both parties to work on site.”
“It, therefore, comes as a surprise that Mr Ni Kpakpo Abbosey accuses me of these actions. Why does he assume that his grantees may operate on the land while ours may not?” he questioned.
He added, “It is disappointing that certain media outlets, some of whom failed to verify even basic facts, chose to publish misleading stories. This type of reporting does a disservice to the public and undermines confidence in our institutions.”
Mr Abban alleged that Mr Abbosey, who has been vocal on the matter, is wanted by the Ghana Police for allegedly arming landguards with illegal weapons.
However, Titanium 123 Properties Limited in a petition addressed to the National Security Secretariat and copied to the IGP and the Chief of Staff at Jubilee House accused the police ASP Malaika-Jabril Alhassan of violating court orders.
Rita Adu-Gyamfi the operations Manager, wrote: “Despite lawful orders, the respondents, in blatant disregard of the court’s authority, engaged military and police personnel to forcibly evict and assault workers lawfully operating under our grantees… and used intimidation tactics to frustrate our legally protected activities.”
“Acting under instruction from the National Police Operations Directorate, ASP Malaika-Jabril Alhassan has repeatedly interfered with construction on the land despite being aware of the court’s ruling,” the petition said.
It continued: “On 8 April 2025, at approximately 11:00 AM, he led a team of uniformed police officers to assist Mr Edward Tetteh—an associate of Kofi Abban—in grading and destroying all existing development works on the land.”
Calling the action a “contemptuous attack on the authority of the judiciary,” Titanium 123 is demanding that the National Security Secretariat Investigate the actions of ASP Alhassan and the police team involved, Enforce the court’s ruling in favour of Titanium 123’s grantees, end unauthorised police operations on the site, and provide protection for its staff and contractors.
“We believe in the rule of law,” said Ms Adu-Gyamfi. “If state institutions can be used in this way to violate court orders, it poses a serious threat to all legitimate business operations.”
Meanwhile, as both the Rigworld Group and Titanium 123 Properties insist on their position of ownership of the Prampram land, there have been calls for impartial interference to ensure the standoff does not escalate.
