The National Association of Ghanaian Communities in Nigeria (NAGHACON) has called on Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Ghanaian President John Mahama to intervene diplomatically in the ownership dispute involving River Park Estate in Abuja to ensure the safety of expatriates, and allow the rule of law to prevail. The group raised the alarm over ongoing structural disruptions and safety concerns allegedly targeting JonahCapital firm at the River Park Estate in Abuja. “We use this medium to appeal to the Presidents of both Ghana and Nigeria to call those responsible for these actions to order, and to allow the court to determine this matter. We also ask that the safety and security of the Ghanaians involved be guaranteed.” They expressed hope that the intervention would “preserve the enduring brotherhood between Ghana and Nigeria.” In a press conference held on Thursday, the leadership of the association warned that the escalation of targeted actions against the prominent Ghanaian-backed firm could strain diplomatic and economic relations between Nigeria and Ghana if left unchecked. The association’s executive committee, representing Ghanaian citizens across all 36 states of Nigeria, revealed they had dispatched a delegation to Abuja to conduct an on-the-ground assessment of the unfolding situation at the estate. Speaking on behalf of the association, NAGHACON National President, Lukman Tetteh, and General Secretary, Edwards Domfe, stated that the group’s leadership travelled from various parts of Nigeria to assess the physical damage at the estate and stand in solidarity with the company. “Our first objective is to ascertain, at first hand, the incidents that have occurred at JonahCapital’s River Park Estate,” the executive committee stated. “We have had the opportunity to visit the Gallery Clubhouse and various sites, including the gate house and other structures belonging to JonahCapital, to witness the destruction for ourselves.” During their inspection, the association noted a distinct pattern, pointing out that JonahCapital appeared to be uniquely targeted amid a broader ecosystem of businesses operating within the estate. “We have observed that several other companies continue to operate undisturbed within River Park Estate, with the exception of JonahCapital. We have also observed the various walls that have been erected around properties belonging to JonahCapital,” the leadership observed. The current crisis follows a string of legal and administrative hurdles JonahCapital has faced over the past year. The association recalled that last year, a police investigation wrongly accused the company of forgery — an issue that ultimately required the intervention of the Attorney-General of the Federation, who cleared the company’s directors of any wrongdoing. Furthermore, NAGHACON referenced previous interventions by the Ministry of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) that had initially brought clarity to the estate’s ownership. “We were glad, last year, to see media reports of an interview granted by the Honourable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, in which his Ministerial Committee resolved the dispute over ownership of the company and declared JonahCapital the recognised party to the Development Lease Agreement,” the statement read. Expressing deep concern over the subversion of the judicial process, NAGHACON warned that aggressive actions against Abuja’s most prominent Ghanaian business could spark unintended, wider consequences across the West African sub-region. The association drew a sobering parallel to historical precedents of regional unrest, urging stakeholders to handle the commercial dispute with extreme care to avoid stoking nationalist tensions. “Today, we are all witnesses to the xenophobic violence in South Africa, which has led to reprisals and, tragically, the deaths of African migrants. That unfortunate chapter began with incidents not unlike this one, and gradually grew into what we now witness,” the committee warned. “NAGHACON, as the principal body representing Ghanaians in Nigeria, is concerned about this possibility, as well as about the security and safety of the Ghanaians connected with this company and this estate. We are concerned that a matter currently before the courts is not being allowed to run its course, while these actions continue to be taken against JonahCapital’s staff and assets.” …
