Court

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. Punch
