Residents of Boi Town, a peaceful and well-developed community nestled between Abokobi and Old Ashongman in the Greater Accra Region, are still in shock following an armed invasion led by a civilian woman called Adina Anita Addy.
Adina Anita Addy who is member of the Graham is seen using military personnel allegedly under orders from the Jubilee House to intimidate and harass innocent civilians while instructing soldiers to demolish their houses.
On April 25, 2025, residents awoke to the shock of armed men in military uniform—led by —storming their neighborhood with bulldozers, prepared to demolish hundreds of homes. The soldiers claimed they were acting on direct instructions from Ghana’s presidential seat, the Flagstaff House (Jubilee House).
Boi Town, home to over 500 houses and largely occupied by civil servants, lecturers, retirees, and other professionals, was thrown into chaos as the armed group issued death threats to any resident who dared to film or question the operation.
Terrified residents quickly contacted the Adenta Police, who responded and attempted to apprehend the perpetrators. However, the soldiers fled the scene using their own heavy-duty equipment. Enraged residents pursued them as far as Madina, threatening to burn their bulldozers in protest.
Meanwhile the same Adina Anita Addy and the graham family has previously used police officers from Police Headquarters to harass homeowners, including forceful evictions and illegal lockouts without court orders—an abuse of power that residents say has been ongoing for months.
Addy and her associates are reportedly members of the Graham family, who currently hold a Supreme Court judgmentclaiming ownership of the land. However, the land in question was originally ruled in favor of the Adutso family by a High Court, and portions were lawfully sold to private buyers—many of whom have lived there for years.
After losing the initial ruling, the Grahams appealed and won both at the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court, and are now demanding extortionate payments of GHC 300,000 per plot, or GHC 400,000 if paid within a year, from residents—many of whom are retired or living on modest incomes.
Despite repeated efforts by residents to negotiate more affordable terms, Addy and her associates have refused to budge, instead opting for threats of demolition and military-backed intimidation.
To make matters worse, a third family—the Akoblems—also claim ownership of the land, supported by their own High Court judgment, and are likewise demanding payment from residents. A Supreme Court case between the Grahams and the Akoblems is currently pending to determine the rightful owner.

With multiple court judgments and no clear direction from the authorities, residents of Boi Town find themselves caught in a legal and political tug-of-war. For now, their homes—and their lives—remain at the mercy of individuals like Adina Anita Addy, whose apparent access to state security forces has turned a civil land dispute into a battlefield.
Residents have vowed to resist further attempts at demolition, calling for government intervention and a final, enforceable ruling from the courts.
