The Nigeria Police Force has concluded its investigation into a multi-billion naira corporate fraud allegedly orchestrated by three Ghanaian nationals, Samuel Jonah, Kojo Ansah, and Victor Quainoo and a Nigerian accomplice, Abu Arome.
According to the police, the suspects will face prosecution for what it described as a sophisticated and criminal attempt to fraudulently seize control of Jonah Capital Nigeria Limited and its stakes in Houses for Africa Nigeria Limited and River Park Estate.
In a statement on Friday by the Force spokesman, Muyiwa Adejobi, the crime was allegedly done through the use of forged documents, falsified signatures, and false claims of Nigerian citizenship submitted to the Corporate Affairs Commission.
He said, “The suspects are being accused of orchestrating a sophisticated conspiracy to fraudulently assume control of JonahCapital Nigeria Limited and its interests in Houses for Africa Nigeria Limited and River Park Estate.
“In-depth investigations revealed that the accused had illegally increased the company’s share capital and allocated 99 million shares to themselves using falsified documents and forged signatures, also falsely presenting themselves as Nigerian citizens to the CAC to facilitate their fraudulent activities. “
Adejobi clarified that despite misinformation in some media reports, no exoneration had been given to the suspects by any panel.
Police Invitations Ignored
Instead, he said the individuals have allegedly ignored multiple invitations by investigators and have resorted to smear campaigns against the office of the Inspector-General of Police, the Nigeria Police Force, and the investigating officers.
Furthermore, he noted that the suspects filed baseless lawsuits aimed at obstructing the investigation process.
Adejobi added that the Ghanaian High Commission has been officially notified of the development by diplomatic protocols.
He said, “Contrary to claims in some media circles, the suspects have not been exonerated by any panel of the Nigeria Police.
However, despite multiple invitations that they have refused to honour, they have instead launched smear campaigns against the person and office of the IGP, the NPF, and the investigating officers, and also filed baseless legal actions against the Police Force.
