The Supreme Court of Ghana has officially confirmed that investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas lawfully acquired his Tseaddo land through a customary grant in 2005, a finding that lands like a hammer blow on years of false accusations, propaganda, and politically motivated attacks.
With this single line of judicial clarity, the apex court has shattered one of the biggest weapons used against Anas by Adolph Tetteh and amplified for years by Kennedy Agyapong in their public crusade to tarnish his reputation.
A Timeline That Exposes the Truth
The Supreme Court’s ruling creates a fatal, irreparable problem for rival claimant Adolph Tetteh, whose supposed title:
• only began in 2013,
• coming from Hillsview,
• which itself only acquired interest in 2007,
• a full two years after Anas had already received his 2005 grant and taken possession.
Legal experts say the timeline alone destroys Adolph’s case and exposes his aggressive, hostile campaign as lacking any legitimate foundation.
The Supreme Court’s decision leaves no ambiguity:
Anas was there first, lawfully, and with superior title.
Kennedy Agyapong’s Attacks Now Proven Baseless
For years, Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong used the land dispute as ammunition in a relentless series of televised attacks, documentaries, and public tirades against Anas.
He repeatedly cited the Court of Appeal judgment—now exposed as perverse and factually unsupported—as “evidence” that Anas was a fraud, a land thief, or a criminal.
He positioned himself as the voice of “truth,” amplifying Adolph Tetteh’s version of events as if it were gospel.
But today, the Supreme Court has done what no press conference, political rally, or late-night insult ever did:
It delivered the truth under the seal of the Republic of Ghana.
And that truth vindicates Anas completely.
How Adolph Weaponised Kennedy’s Platform
Adolph Tetteh, fully aware that his own acquisition came many years after Anas’s customary grant, leaned heavily on Kennedy Agyapong’s platform to legitimize his claims and to damage Anas publicly.
While Anas relied on:
• documentation,
• witnesses,
• recognised grantor families,
• and legal process,
Adolph relied on:
• land guards,
• intimidation,
• political name-dropping,
• and Kennedy Agyapong’s televised megaphone.
The strategy was simple:
shout loudly enough, intimidate aggressively enough, and maybe the truth would be buried under the noise.
Today, that strategy lies in ruins.
Supreme Court: Anas Had the Older, Stronger, Lawful Interest
The Court’s findings confirm:
• Anas’s 2005 grant was real, valid, and supported by the evidence.
• His grantors were legitimate landowners whose rights were acknowledged in multiple judgments.
• Nothing in Adolph’s chain of title precedes Anas’s.
• The Court of Appeal’s rejection of Anas’s evidence was unreasonable, unsupported, and wrong.
This is not only a legal victory—it is a public vindication.
A Story of Smear Tactics vs. Evidence
For nearly a decade, the dispute became a convenient tool in the larger political project to discredit Anas and undermine his anti-corruption work.
While:
• Kennedy attacked him from TV studios,
• Adolph attacked him in the courts and on the land,
• land guards attacked him physically and operationally,
Anas quietly held on to the truth—truth that the Supreme Court has now validated.
Vindication Delivered by the Highest Court in the Land
Today’s ruling marks a turning point.
It tells the nation that:
• the lies pushed on TV were lies,
• the smear campaigns were hollow,
• the attacks were politically driven,
• and the evidence was always on Anas’s side.
No amount of noise, propaganda, or intimidation could drown out the facts.
And now, those facts carry the authority of the Supreme Court of Ghana.
