The Writ of Possession was issued on July 4 and 10, 2024 emanating from the Sixth Judicial Circuit Civil Law Court, under the watch of presiding Judge, Cllr. Golda A. Bonah Elliot and signed by Randolph B. Sneh, Assistant Clerk.

However, the release signed by Horatio Nyumah noted that thirteen other individuals

Properties are been included in the demolition process by those enforcing the writ.
