Police to Prosecute Foreign Nationals for Corporate Fraud in River Park Estate Case

The Nigeria Police Force has completed its investigation into a major corporate fraud case involving three Ghanaian nationals—Samuel Esson Jonah, Kojo Mensah Ansah, and Victor Quainoo—and a Nigerian accomplice, Abu Arome. The suspects are accused of illegally taking control of JonahCapital Nigeria Limited and its affiliated companies, Houses for Africa Nigeria Limited and River Park Estate.

Investigations uncovered that the accused unlawfully increased the company’s share capital and allocated 99 million shares to themselves using forged documents and signatures. They also impersonated Nigerian citizens in filings with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to facilitate their fraudulent takeover.

Contrary to some media reports, the suspects have not been cleared by any police panel. They have ignored multiple police invitations, instead launching smear campaigns against the Inspector-General of Police, the Nigeria Police Force, and the investigating officers, as well as filing baseless legal suits against the police.
