Police To Prosecute Foreign Nationals Over Alleged Fraud At River Park Estate
The Nigeria Police Force has wrapped up investigations into a major corporate fraud case involving three Ghanaian nationals, Samuel Esson Jonah, Kojo Mensah Ansah, and Victor Quainoo, alongside a Nigerian accomplice, Abu Arome.
The suspects are accused of impersonation, forgery, and unlawfully attempting to hijack control of JonahCapital Nigeria Limited and its associated interests in Houses for Africa Nigeria Limited and the prominent River Park Estate.
According to police findings, the group allegedly manipulated company records by inflating the share capital and allocating 99 million shares to themselves using forged documents and signatures.
They also reportedly posed as Nigerian citizens to deceive the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and further their scheme.
Dismissing rumours of any police panel clearing the suspects, the Force noted that the accused have persistently ignored official invitations for questioning.
Instead, they allegedly resorted to smear campaigns against the Inspector-General of Police and other investigators, while also filing what authorities described as baseless lawsuits.
In line with diplomatic protocol, the Ghanaian High Commission has been duly informed, and the suspects will now face prosecution for a string of offences including criminal conspiracy, impersonation, forgery, and obstruction of justice.
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to upholding due process, safeguarding lawful business operations, and fostering investor confidence in Nigeria.
He urged foreign investors to remain committed to the rule of law, assuring them of a secure and transparent environment for business.
