The attorney-general of the federation (AGF) and minister of justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), has directed the registrar-general of the Company Affairs Fee (CAC), Hussaini Magaji, to cancel alleged extrajudicial filings on two Abuja companies: Jonah Capital Nigeria Restricted and Homes for Africa Nigeria Restricted.
The choice was conveyed in a correspondence signed by the director of Public Prosecutions of the Federation (DPPF), M.B. Abubakar, on behalf of the minister.
Fagbemi additionally formally terminated prison proceedings instituted by the Nigeria Police Drive (NPF) towards some Ghanaian traders in Abuja, describing the police investigation as “deceptive, legally faulty and an abuse of authority.”
The DPPF mentioned the minister reached the choice after a complete evaluation of all investigation recordsdata submitted by the NPF, together with stories from each the Inspector-Common of Police (IGP) Monitoring Unit and an earlier Particular Investigation Panel (SIP).
The AGF mentioned there was “no foundation for prison prosecution” towards Sir Samuel Esson Jonah, Mr Kojo Ansah Mensah, Mr Victor Quainoo and Mr Abu Arome, all of whom had been accused by the police of fraud and forgery in reference to the possession and administration of the River Park Property.
“No prima facie case of forgery and different associated offences as contained in Cost No: CR/402/25 has been established towards the aforementioned people,” the DPP said.
Consequently, the 26-count cost earlier introduced by the police was discontinued.
The attorney-general’s determination successfully overturns the findings of the IGP Monitoring Unit led by CP Akin Fakorede, which had accused the Ghanaian traders of prison conduct following a extensively publicised press convention held on June 26 and 27, 2025.
The AGF described the Monitoring Unit’s investigation as deceptive and faulted the workforce for making an attempt to criminalise what’s basically a industrial and contractual dispute.
Ghana’s overseas minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, had earlier petitioned the ECOWAS Convention of Overseas Ministers, citing harassment and intimidation of Ghanaian investments in Nigeria, together with the pursuits of Sir Sam Jonah.
