• Nigerian AGF Fagbemi Overturns Police Probe on Ghanaian Businessmen, Confirms No Case of Fraud or Forgery

    The Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, has formally nullified the Nigeria Police Force investigation led by CP Akin Fakorede into Ghanaian businessmen, including Sir Samuel Esson Jonah, citing lack of evidence. Following a review of case files, the AGF confirmed that no prima facie case of forgery or fraud existed against the businessmen, effectively discontinuing the 26-count charge.

    Fagbemi affirmed the findings of the 13-man Special Investigation Panel (SIP) led by DCP Imam as comprehensive and unbiased. The AGF described the Monitoring Unit’s probe as legally defective, misleading, and an inappropriate attempt to criminalize a commercial dispute, contrary to the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015.

    The AGF also directed the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to restore the original ownership and shareholding structure of Jonah Capital Nigeria Limited and Houses for Africa Nigeria Limited, reversing unauthorized changes made in December 2025. The decision followed international attention, including a petition by Ghana’s Foreign Minister over harassment of Ghanaian investments in Nigeria.
