A Federal Capital Territory High Court postponed criminal proceedings against four defendants after Nigeria declared a public holiday honoring former President Muhammadu Buhari. The scheduled Wednesday arraignment involved three Ghanaian nationals and one Nigerian attorney facing fraud allegations. Court officials announced that only cases originally set for Tuesday would proceed during the session. Administrative delays resulted from the government's decision to commemorate Buhari's funeral with a national day of remembrance. Justice Modupe-Osho Adebiyi will preside over the rescheduled hearing on October 7.
Nigerian police filed 26 criminal counts against Sam Jonah, Kojo Ansah, Victor Quainoo, and Mobus Property Nigeria Ltd through prosecutors at Force headquarters. Authorities accuse the defendants of fabricating corporate documents to seize control of multiple companies and real estate assets. The charges allege systematic forgery targeting Houses for Africa Nigeria Ltd, Jonah Capital Nigeria Ltd, and River Park Estate Abuja. Investigators claim the suspects illegally expanded share capital by 99 million units through falsified paperwork and signature fraud. Police further assert that the Ghanaian nationals misrepresented their citizenship status to the Corporate Affairs Commission during the alleged scheme.
