Ghanaian Group Urges Tinubu, Mahama to Mediate Escalating Abuja River Park Estate Dispute
Written on
A diplomatic storm is brewing over a prime Abuja housing estate as armed security actions spark fears of bilateral tension. A prominent Ghanaian diaspora group is now begging West African heads of state to step in before the property battle turns toxic.
The National Association of Ghanaian Communities in Nigeria (NAGHACON) has appealed to Nigerian President Bola Tinubu and Ghanaian President John Mahama to intervene in a bitter ownership dispute at River Park Estate in Abuja.
The conflict involves JonahCapital, a firm linked to Ghanaian interests, which has faced police raids, property blockades, and a highly contested development lease expiration ruling by the FCT Ministry.
NAGHACON warns that these targeted, aggressive actions against the firm threaten bilateral relations and could fuel dangerous, xenophobic retaliation against migrants if left unchecked.
The group is demanding an immediate halt to all extrajudicial activities while courts resolve the ownership battle. Observers fear this high-profile real estate clash could set a damaging precedent for cross-border investments within the West African sub-region.
