Legal Earthquake In Tse-Addo… Anas Wins 5–0 At Supreme Court

For nearly a decade, Adolph Tetteh Adjei presented himself as the unshakeable overlord and ‘king of Tse-Addo’. He often wore white kaftans like a chief. He granted media interviews like a monarch. He moved with an entourage including cameramen as though documenting a coronation.

To his supporters, he was the man “reclaiming Tse-Addo from thieves.”

To his critics, he remains the face of a carefully constructed lie.

On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, the Supreme Court of Ghana, in a unanimous 5 – 0 ruling, stripped that illusion bare.

THE DAY THE MASK FELL

Adolph expected it to be his triumphant day. He arrived at the Supreme Court wearing immaculate white, as if entering a festival rather than a courtroom. There were a lot of paparazzi cameras following him, cameras he probably invited.

But from the moment the panel of five Justices of the Supreme Court of Ghana began speaking, the aura around Adolph Tetteh Adjei began to collapse—quietly at first, then rapidly and forcefully.

One by one, the Supreme Court Justices recited the findings of the Courts:

• Anas’ 2005 customary grant was valid.
• His possessory rights predated all rival transfers.
• The land families who granted him title were in lawful control.
• Hillsview Development’s root of title was fatally defective.
• Registration cannot defeat earlier customary ownership.
• The Court of Appeal’s reasoning was perverse, unsupported by evidence.

Each sentence chipped away at the carefully manufactured empire of Adolph Tetteh Adjei.

“Overall, we are satisfied that the appellant has shown a good cause why this Court shall interfere with the findings of fact by the lower courts. In the circumstance, we dismiss the claims of the respondent and enter judgment for the appellant”, the Judgement read with the appellant being Anas Aremeyaw Anas and the respondent being Adolph Tetteh Adjei

THE MOMENT REALITY HIT

Those present say the turning point was not a legal phrase.

It was a simple line: “The appellant’s interest, acquired in 2005, prevails.”

Reports say Adolph sank slowly into his chair. His hands began to tremble. His breathing became uneven. Then he rose abruptly, stumbled out of the chamber and into the corridor—and broke down in tears.

Witnesses say they heard him mutter: “This is the end… this is truly the end.” The media team he is suspected to have brought along quietly packed their equipment and slipped away.

THE COLLAPSE OF A WHOLE NARRATIVE

For nearly ten years, Adolph’s public battle was not only about land.

It was also about reputation warfare. He appeared multiple times on Kennedy Agyapong’s media platforms, calling Anas:

• “A fraudster”
• “A land thief”
• “A criminal hiding behind a mask”

Kennedy himself repeated the claims on Net 2 TV, even exporting them into the U.S. defamation trial. Justice Baah referenced the accusations in his controversial High Court ruling.

But the Supreme Court, in a unanimous and emphatic decision, has now exposed that entire narrative as fabrication built on a defective root of title.

THE LEGAL SHOCKWAVE

The Court found that:

• The 2005 grant to Anas was legitimate and earlier in time.
• Adolph’s 2013–2015 chain of title was tainted by illegality.
• Hillsview acquired land through one trustee instead of two, voiding the transaction.
• Transfers were executed pendente lite, a hallmark of fraudulent intent.
• The real landowners—the Ataa Tawiah Tsinaiatse and Numo Ofoley Kwashei families—remained in possession throughout.

A senior land practitioner described the ruling as: “A total reset of the truth. This decision wipes out years of misinformation.”

AFTERMATH: A KING WITHOUT A KINGDOM

The blow to Adolph Tetteh was not limited to the disputed plot. By confirming the illegality of the root of title, the ruling threatens more than 33 acres linked to his supposed land empire.

Sources say he later complained of sudden illness—shortness of breath, lightheadedness—forcing those around him to escort him quietly to his car.  The white kaftan he wore with pride in the morning had become a symbol of a dream collapsing before the law.

ANAS’S UNEXPECTED VINDICATION

For years, Anas kept silent about the attacks.

He did not go on radio.

He did not trade insults.

He trusted the courts.

On Wednesday, that patience was rewarded.

The Supreme Court’s ruling:

• Restores his credibility
• Clears the misinformation spread against him
• Confirms he dealt with the rightful landowners
• Establishes his 2005 rights as superior
• Exposes years of political propaganda against him

In La and Tse-Addo, the landowning families reportedly celebrated late into the night—not just for the legal victory, but for the restoration of their dignity.

TERROR AGAINST THE TRUST

Despite receiving his own documents from the East Dedekotopon Trust, he later turned viciously against the very custodians who legitimised him. His behaviour became a campaign of intimidation. The Trust members lived under constant fear of Adolf’s unpredictable possible violence.

A LESSON FOR GHANA

Adolph Tetteh entered the Supreme Court as a man who claimed to command land, media, and public opinion. He left as a man confronted with the full weight of truth.

The message of the judgment is clear:

• Loud voices do not change facts.
• Propaganda does not replace law.
• Customary ownership cannot be erased by fraudulent registration.
• And reputation built on deception collapses under judicial scrutiny.

The “King of Tse-Addo” has fallen— and Ghana’s highest court has restored the rightful owner of the truth.
