That the real owner of the property, Kwame Adu Bobi, was present when the sub-lessee agreed to give the property to Madam Akua Addai. Conclusion of the Supreme Court on double names:The case before the Supreme Court was brought after the plaintiff, Madama Akua Addai, sought redress from both the High Court and the Court of Appeal over what she said were impersonations by the defendant, Kwame Adu Bobi. Going by the above judgment, should that same narrative be played by the Kusi Boateng case, it might not exactly fit in.
