High Court overturns Army Radio closure: ‘Government may not use its power to silence dissent’
Justices ruled unanimously that the decision was driven by dissatisfaction with broadcasts seen as opposing the government, while stressing that Army Radio could still be closed through a lawful process
The Receiver/Manager of the No. 1 Oxford Street Hotel in Accra, Nii Amanor Dodoo, and Cola Holdings Ltd have appealed against a High Court order that directed the hotel be returned to Kensington Residential Partners 1 Ltd. The High Court, Accra, Commercial Division 2, had ruled against the Receiver in favor of Cheddar, the businessman who owns Kensington Residential Partners 1 Ltd. The appeal, filed after the High Court's decision on August 21, 2026, argues that the ruling contained serious legal errors and that the court that heard the case lacked jurisdiction.
The case revolves around the Receiver's possession of the hotel under arrangements with Cola Holdings Ltd. The Receiver, Dodoo, maintains that the court's decision is legally flawed and inconsistent with the Borrowers and Lenders Act, 2020 (Act 1052). He also questions the court's jurisdiction, claiming that the case should have been heard by a different court.
Dodoo has urged the High Court to suspend the execution of the order while the appeal is pending, arguing that the ruling is "unreasonable and irrational" and could have significant consequences for all parties involved.
