River Park Dispute: Houses for Africa Nigeria Limited; Jonah Capital, owner of River Park Estate and an affiliate company apologise to the Inspector General of Police

By Ifeoma Ikem

The Managing Director/CEO of Houses for African Nigerians Ltd., Mr. Kojo Ansah Mensah, has apologized for recent tensions stemming from the ongoing River Park Estate ownership dispute and any unintended strain it may have caused in their relationship with the Nigeria Police Force.

Mr. Mensah emphasized the company’s deep respect for the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, and the Nigeria Police Force, acknowledging their professionalism and dedication to justice.

In a letter to the IGP, he said “We sincerely regret any miscommunication or discomfort that may have arisen in the course of this matter. The Office of the IGP has consistently demonstrated integrity in our engagements, and we remain committed to upholding the highest standards of cooperation,”* he stated.

The company has also clarified that a recent protest at the Nigerian High Commission in Accra, Ghana, was neither organized nor endorsed by its leadership.

“We disassociate ourselves entirely from the unauthorized actions of certain individuals involved in the protest. We deeply regret any inconvenience or diplomatic concerns this may have caused the Nigeria Police Force and the Office of the IGP” Mr. Mensah added.

Houses for African Nigerians Ltd. and Jonah Capital reaffirm their commitment to a lawful and amicable resolution of the dispute, in full compliance with the investigative process directed by the IGP.

JonahCapital and Houses for African Nigerians Ltd. appreciate the IGP’s leadership and commitment to justice and pledge their full cooperation with the ongoing investigation.

The Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) has unjustly refused to clear the majority of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chairmanship and councillorship candidates across Lagos State. This decision comes despite the fact that our party dutifully submitted all required documents within the stipulated timeframe. LASIEC now claims that some documents are “missing” from their office and systems a claim we strongly contest.

It has become necessary to alert the general public to this clear misuse of power in Lagos State. It is evident that this targeted action against our candidates is driven by the fact that PDP’s flag bearers are widely recognized as credible and enjoy significant popularity compared to candidates of other parties.

By deliberately withholding clearance, LASIEC is effectively working to prevent our candidates from participating in the forthcoming local government elections scheduled for July 12, 2025, across Lagos State.

Today, June 30, 2025, members of the PDP Lagos State Electoral Committee and our affected candidates reported to LASIEC’s office as early as 8:00 a.m., hoping for a fair resolution. Regrettably, after waiting the entire day, they were dismissed without a conclusive outcome. Instead, they were merely told to return on Wednesday, which happens to be the last day of the screening process with no assurance they will be attended to.

We consider this a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise our party and its candidates, undermining democratic principles and the free choice of Lagosians.

We therefore call on all well-meaning Nigerians, the people of Lagos State, and His Excellency the Governor of Lagos State to urgently intervene to ensure justice and fairness. Our great party, the PDP, deserves to participate in this election without obstruction, intimidation, or administrative manipulation.
