TDC Ghana Ltd has moved to correct public misconceptions surrounding an ongoing land dispute involving the company, Trasacco Estates Development Company Limited, and members of the Nii Tetteh Santeo family, stating that the litigation is confined to a 361-acre parcel of land and does not cover the entirety of Community 23 as being suggested in some media reports.
The clarification follows recent publications referencing a ruling by the High Court (Land Division) in Accra in Suit No. LD/0059/2015, which involves the Nii Tetteh Santeo family, Trasacco Estates Development Company Limited, TDC Ghana Ltd, and the Lands Commission.
In a statement issued by management, TDC Ghana Ltd emphasized that the disputed portion relates specifically to land currently occupied by Trasacco Estates Development Company Limited, and not the wider Community 23 enclave.
The company further stressed that it continues to rely on an earlier judgment in its favour in the case of Nii Blabi Din Borketey Nkpa v. TDC, Suit No. FAL/186/12, delivered on November 8, 2016.
According to TDC, that judgment declared Communities 23 and 24 as part of the Tema Acquisition Area under the control and management of the company. It added that the ruling remains valid, has not been set aside, and has not been reversed by any superior court.
Management also disclosed that it has filed a Notice of Appeal challenging the recent High Court decision and intends to pursue all available legal avenues under Ghanaian law.
“TDC Ghana Ltd does not intend at this stage to delve into the merits of the pending appeal, but urges the public to disregard misinformation, speculation and unauthorised claims relating to ownership of lands within Community 23 beyond the specific 361-acre area presently under litigation,” parts of the statement noted.
The company assured stakeholders and landowners within the Tema Acquisition Area of its commitment to protecting lands under its jurisdiction while fully respecting due legal processes.
It also cautioned the public to exercise due diligence in all land transactions within the affected area, warning against relying on unverified claims.
The dispute remains before the courts as legal processes continue.
