The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) in collaboration with the Central Intelligence and Security Agency (CISA) and the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) wishes to inform the general public, that it had commenced investigation into criminal allegations against the President of the EAP Group of Companies and his company. The company had marketed the sale of future affordable homes to members of the public which would be available for ownership after they would have commenced and continued payments of various sums to them as a basis for the future ownership while construction was underway. Joint Surveillance of their activities had started over a month ago and arrests made over a week ago.
Preliminary investigation has revealed that the said Company has received payments of deposits for future Homes in a scheme called “Motherland City”, in York Village, in the Western Rural District. Investigation has further revealed that the President of the Company had criminal antecedents in Ghana and Nigeria and carries himself with several names such as; Alexander Moses, a Ghanaian, Edward Alex Philips, a Sierra Leonean, Alex Olubode-Philips, a Sierra Leonean, Olufunmilade Adeyemi, a Nigerian, and Aladura Moses in Dubai. Further details are withheld for now pending full investigation in collaboration with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFFCC) of Nigeria, who have filed an Official Request with the ACC to release the suspect to them for trial.
