When does the search for justice cross into intimidation? Ghanaian developers behind Abuja’s River Park Estate say Nigerian law enforcement has gone too far. According to Premium Times, they’ve taken the Nigeria Police and EFCC to court, seeking ₦200 million in damages for alleged harassment and rights violations. What began as a land ownership dispute now threatens diplomatic trust.
Ghanaian investors behind a major Abuja estate allege rights abuse by Nigerian authorities and demand ₦200m in relief.
- Ghanaian developers of River Park Estate have sued the Nigeria Police and EFCC for ₦200m over alleged harassment.
- The case, filed in Abuja, highlights claims of intimidation, unlawful arrests, and absence of due process.
- Investors demand the release of a Special Investigation Panel report and a halt to further police interference.
- Accusations include prolonged detention and “oppressive conduct” by state agents despite existing civil agreements.
- The lawsuit is gaining attention in both Ghana and Nigeria, opening larger questions of cross-border investor protection.
The investors argue that what should have remained a civil issue has been escalated by forceful interference from Nigerian authorities, possibly at the risk of international investor confidence.
