Following alleged intimidation and bridge of fundamental rights of some of their citizens residing in Nigeria, by the Nigeria Police and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),  some Ghanaians , have  protested at Nigeria High Commission in  Accra, Ghana.

The demonstrators carried different placards calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and former Ghanaian President John Mahama to intervene.

Blueprint report that Ghanaian investors behind the development of the high-profile River Park Estate in Abuja, had  sued  the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetoku and the Nigeria Police and the EFCC over alleged abuse of their fundamental human rights.

The investors claimed that their fundamental rights were being violated, alleging arbitrary arrests, repeated police invitations, and intimidation by both the police and anti-graft agency, the EFCC.

In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1130/2025, the Ghanaian businessmen are seeking N200 million in exemplary damages for what they describe as unlawful intimidation, repeated invitations, and an attempt to suppress an investigation report compiled by an 11-member Special Investigation Panel (SIP) previously set up by the Nigeria Police Force to probe the ownership and development dispute surrounding River Park Estate.

According to the court documents, the police concluded their investigation and submitted the SIP report to the IGP’s office, with a directive for review by the Legal Department. However, despite several formal requests, including letters dated March 20 and April 16, 2025, neither the plaintiffs nor their legal representatives have received access to the report.

Instead, the plaintiffs allege that DCP Fakorede, whose unit previously investigated the case, initiated a fresh probe into the same issues already covered in the SIP’s findings.

The investors claim Fakorede’s renewed efforts have led to persistent harassment, including repeated police invitations and the arrest and prolonged interrogation of Kojo Ansah Mensah by the EFCC
