COURT RESTRAINS RAYMOND OKUDZETO, OTHERS (PAGE 12, SEPT 14, 2010)

A HO High court presided over by Mr Justice K. Essel-Mensah has granted an application for interim injunction to restrain Mr Raymond Okudzeto and others for using the estate of their late father Ben Agbakpe Okudzeto to their personal benefit.
Furthermore, Raymond Okudzeto and C.P.K. Okudzeto have been restrained from dwelling in, residing or possessing the property in contradiction to the will of their father.
The application which was filed by a surviving spouse as plaintiff, Madam Charity Okudzeto and eight surviving children was granted for 10 days to restrain the defendants from converting any of the buildings or houses to a hotel or guest house or any form of lodging place or restaurant.
The defendants in the case are Mr Obed Okudzeto, Mr Sam Okudzeto, Mr Stephen Dayite Okudzeto, Mr Raymond Okudzeto and Mr C.P.K. Okudzeto.
According to counsel for plaintiff, Mr Ernest Gaewu, the estate of the late Ben Agbakpe Okudzeto include a building at Atorkor now being used by Raymond Okudzeto, one storey building at Adidome and two storey buildings at Hohoe which were entered in the names of the plaintiffs for which plaintiffs have obtained probate of the will but the first, second and third defendants have refused to vest those properties in the plaintiffs.
He said they, rather contrary to the terms of the will allowed Raymond Okudzeto to take up possession of those properties for his personal benefit.
A legal tussle is expected in the case after the interim injunction of which a Sogakope- based legal practitioner, Mr M.Z. Glover, is the counsel for the defendants.
