Alpha Beta Education Centre owns disputed Akokorfoto lands-Supreme Court

Ghana’s Supreme Court has unanimously upheld Alpha Beta Education Centre Limited’s ownership of disputed parcels of land at Dansoman–Akokorfoto in Accra, ending a legal battle that has lasted more than a decade.

In a decision delivered on Wednesday, 17 December 2025, a five-member panel affirmed a July 2024 Court of Appeal ruling which ordered the recovery of possession for Alpha Beta and placed a perpetual injunction on the defendants and their assigns from interfering with the land.

The panel was presided over by Justice Avril Lovelace-Johnson, sitting with Justices Samuel Kwame Adibu-Asiedu, Kweku Tawiah Ackaah-Boafo, Sir Dennis Dominic Adjei and Yaw Darko Asare.

Welcoming the outcome, Alpha Beta’s Business Development Manager, John Adjepong, said the ruling “finally settles” the question of ownership and gives the institution the legal certainty it needs for long-term expansion and development.

Co-founder of Alpha Beta Education Centres, Rev Sammy Adjepong, described the judgment as the end of “a long and testing journey” that began in 2014.

Rev Adjepong said the decision was not only a legal victory but also an affirmation of the school’s mission.

“Alpha Beta Education Centres is built on strong moral and academic values – excellence, discipline, fairness and the holistic development of the child. This judgment allows us to continue serving families with stability, transparency and a deep sense of responsibility to society,” he noted.

The school said the ruling highlights the importance of legal certainty in safeguarding educational investments and giving schools the confidence to plan, innovate and contribute to national development.
