The footage offers a bird's-eye view of the No. 1 Oxford Street Hotel, unveiling a modern multi-storey structure with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, multiple balconies, spacious terraces, and a clean white exterior.
A neatly paved compound with organised parking spaces completes the upscale picture, and the clip has been widely shared as Ghanaians take in both the hotel's striking architecture and the legal storm surrounding it.
High Court Grants Police-Assisted Seizure
On July 21, 2026, Justice Samuel Faraday Johnson of the Commercial Division of the High Court in Accra ruled in favour of Cola Holdings Limited, granting the company and its appointed Receiver police assistance to take possession of the hotel.
The application came after Cola Holdings informed the court that earlier attempts to peacefully take over the property had failed.
Justice Johnson found that Cola Holdings had properly registered its security interest over the hotel and was fully entitled to enforce that interest under the Borrowers and Lenders Act, 2020 (Act 1052).
The court also dismissed objections filed by Kensington Residential Partners 1 Limited, a company connected to Cheddar, after ruling that the evidence presented was insufficient to block the application.
Cheddar's Legal Position
Earlier this year, Cheddar, who leads the New Force Movement, publicly stated that he does not accept liability arising from a judgment handed down by the High Court of England and Wales.
He indicated that his legal team had already moved to challenge the enforcement of that foreign judgment within Ghana and that he intended to exhaust every available legal avenue.
The court was careful to note that its July 21 ruling addresses only the application for police assistance and does not touch on the merits of any pending appeals or other proceedings between the parties, meaning the broader legal battle between Cheddar and Cola Holdings is far from settled.
In the meantime, the aerial footage continues to circulate across social media, with many users pausing to admire the hotel's design even as they follow the unfolding legal saga around one of Accra's most prominent luxury developments.

Accra High Court orders Cheddar to pay debt
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that an Accra High Court reportedly ordered Ghanaian businessman Nana Kwame Bediako to pay US$14,928,314.70 to British firm Cola Holdings Limited.
The debt stems from a failed business deal that led to a breach of contract case decided in January 2025, with the judgment later registered in Ghana.
