AGF Orders Reversal of Fraudulent Corporate Filings in Abuja Amid Lack of Criminal Basis
The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) directed the Registrar-General of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to cancel fraudulent corporate filings by two Abuja-based firms, Jonah Capital Nigeria Limited and House of Africa Nigeria Limited. This decision came after a thorough review and investigation, including reports from the Nigeria Police Force.
The AGF concluded that there was no basis for criminal prosecution against individuals accused of fraud and forgery related to the ownership and management of River Park Estate in Abuja. The AGF criticized the police's handling of the case, stating that the investigations were misleading and failed to meet the burden of proof required for criminal liability.
