Demolition: We, Not Kojo Mensah, Authorised Suit Against FCTA, Says Property Firm

A property firm, Houses For Africa, on Friday, said it authorised filing of a legal action against the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), following the recent unlawful demolition of structures in River Park Estate, on the order of the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barrister Nyesom Wike.

Consequently, the firm has denounced claims by one Kojo Mensah, who purportedly claimed that he did not authorise such court action filed by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, A.A. Malik.

The management of Houses for Africa Nigeria Ltd further clarified that Kojo Mensah, one of the three Ghanaians and their lawyer Abu Arome, who tried to illegally take over the company in 2024, which led to them being charged with a 26-count charge before an FCT High Court, have no authority to issue disclaimer in matters pertaining the company, insisting they were unrepentant.

The property developer further stated in a release that it duly authorised the legal firm of Anthony A. Malik (SAN) to file the suit between Paulo Homes Ltd & Anor vs FCT Minister & Anor.

The firm expressed displeasure that persons who were facing criminal charges were still the ones issuing press releases trying to disclaim bonafide Directors and duly authorised lawyers working with Houses For Africa Ltd.

“They are impostors, doing everything humanly possible to evade arraignment in the law court over alleged corporate forgery, impersonation etc,” Houses For Africa stated.

The firm wondered why persons who were facing a 26-count criminal charge at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, sitting in Gwarimpa, were the ones calling rightful owners of the property company impostors.
