Nigerian investor Adrian Ogunmuyiwa has denied claims of resigning from the board of River Park Estate, a company he founded. In a statement released on Thursday, Ogunmuyiwa described a letter circulating on social media, which suggested his resignation, as forged. He alleged that the document was created by his Ghanaian counterpart, Kojo Mensah, as part of an attempt to steal the company.
According to Ogunmuyiwa, the forged letter is one of several documents used by Mensah in an attempt to take control of the company since 2024. Ogunmuyiwa emphasized that he never resigned and that the letter published by Sahara Reporters is fake. He pointed out that a status report conducted in 2020 still listed him as a director, contradicting claims that he resigned in 2017.
Ogunmuyiwa further explained that the Ghanaian board members removed all Nigerian directors from Houses for Africa Nigeria Limited, leaving only themselves in control. This, he said, was a criminal act that occurred in February 2024, as evidenced by police reports and a CAC status report. He questioned the logic of removing him as a director in 2024 if he had indeed resigned in 2017.
The River Park Estate crisis has been ongoing, with Ogunmuyiwa claiming that he established Jonah Capital, not the Ghanaians. In an effort to resolve the crisis, Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike inaugurated a committee in August 2025. Recently, Wike vowed to issue a fresh Certificate of Occupancy to residents of River Park Estate, in a move aimed at addressing the ongoing dispute.
The denial of resignation by Ogunmuyiwa is the latest development in the River Park Estate saga. As the crisis continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the situation will be resolved. The committee established by Minister Wike is expected to play a crucial role in finding a solution, and the issuance of a fresh Certificate of Occupancy may be a step towards resolving the disputes surrounding the estate.
