Don't touch Victor Owusu's estates until ....

An Accra High Court presided over by Justice Anin Yeboah, on Monday granted an injunction on a house at No 4 Rangoon Close at Cantoments, a suburb of Accra, belonging to the later Victor Owusu.

The court also restrained administrators of the estate of Victor Owusu from distributing or vesting the property at Mbrom in Kumasi until the final determination of the suit before the court.

The court’s decision followed the admission of Amarkai Amarteifio, former PNDC Youth and Sports Secretary and counsel for the administrators of Victor Owusu’s estate that they (defendants) owed the plaintiff (landlady) and that they would make all efforts to settle the indebtedness.

Justice Anin Yeboah (not to be confused with Mrs Anin Yeboah also a High Court judge and wife of the presiding judge) displayed a high appreciation of the law at Monday’s sitting. He questioned both counsel extensively before granting the injection, restraining the defendants from vesting the two properties at Cantoments and Mbrom.

The suit takes its normal course henceforth even though the defendants are yet to file their defence. Amarkai Amarteifio’s admission in open court of the indebtedness of Victor Owusu confirmed an earlier story in the Chronicle of 31 October whose exposure of Victor Owusu’s indebtedness caused a furore nationwide among NPP sympathisers.

Ms Syshen Shadrawy, the landlady, has sued the administrators of Victor Owusu’s per Nana Owusu Boahemaa and Mrs Agnes Owusu. She is seeking a declaration of title to No 4 Langoon Close at Cantonments in Accra and an order compelling the defendants to settle an outstanding indebtedness of 130 pound sterling being an accumulated rent in respect of a residence at Putney in London, in which the late Victor Owusu resided from 1991 until his death in 2002.
