An Accra High Court has ordered the immediate return of the No. 1 Oxford Street Hotel to Keningston Residential Partners 1 Limited, overturning a previous takeover of the property linked to business mogul Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar.
Presiding judge, Justice John-Mark Nuku Alifo, ruled on Friday, August 21, 2026, that the takeover of the property on July 23 by Nii Amanor Dodoo and Cola Holdings Limited was unlawful and in breach of the rules of the Court of Appeal.
The court consequently ordered the respondents to immediately restore possession of the hotel to Keningston Residential Partners 1 Limited.
They were also directed to hand over all keys, access codes, financial records, books and monies seized following their takeover of the property last month.
Court orders supervised handover
Justice Nuku Alifo further directed that the handover be conducted under the supervision of the High Court Registrar.
The court said a joint inventory of the hotel, its assets and other items in the respondents’ possession must be conducted as part of the handover process.
The respondents were additionally ordered to submit full financial accounts relating to the receivership within seven days.
The ruling effectively reverses the July 23 takeover and restores Keningston Residential Partners 1 Limited’s possession of the No. 1 Oxford Street Hotel, subject to any further legal proceedings arising from the dispute.
