An Accra High Court has ordered that the No. 1 Oxford Street Hotel be immediately returned to Keningston Residential Partners 1 Limited.

The ruling, made on Friday, August 21, 2026, reverses a previous takeover of the property linked to businessman Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar.

Justice John-Mark Nuku Alifo, who presided over the case, ruled that Nii Amanor Dodoo and Cola Holdings Limited’s July 23 takeover of the property was unlawful and breached Court of Appeal rules.

The court therefore ordered the respondents to immediately return possession of the hotel to Keningston Residential Partners 1 Limited, and to hand over all keys, access codes, financial records, books and monies seized during the takeover.

Justice Nuku Alifo directed the High Court Registrar to supervise the handover process, and ordered a joint inventory of the hotel, its assets and other items in the respondents’ possession as part of that process.

The court further ordered the respondents 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 hotel, subject to any further legal proceedings arising from the dispute.
