The Nigeria Police Force has completed its investigation into an alleged multi-billion naira corporate fraud involving three Ghanaian nationals—Samuel Jonah, Kojo Ansah, and Victor Quainoo—and their Nigerian associate, Abu Arome.
According to Force spokesperson Muyiwa Adejobi, the group is accused of attempting to fraudulently take over JonahCapital Nigeria Limited and its interests in Houses for Africa Nigeria Limited and River Park Estate. The suspects allegedly used forged documents, fake signatures, and falsely claimed Nigerian citizenship in filings with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).
“The suspects orchestrated a complex scheme to illegally increase the company’s share capital, allocating 99 million shares to themselves through fraudulent documentation,” Adejobi said in a Friday statement.
Despite reports suggesting otherwise, Adejobi emphasized that no investigative panel has exonerated the suspects. Instead, he said they have repeatedly ignored police summons and launched smear campaigns against the Inspector-General of Police, the Nigeria Police Force, and the investigators. The suspects have also filed what police describe as frivolous lawsuits to obstruct the case.
The Ghanaian High Commission has been formally informed in accordance with diplomatic procedures.
“The Police will proceed with prosecution on charges including corporate fraud, forgery, criminal conspiracy, impersonation, and obstruction of justice,” Adejobi concluded.
