Fraud charges against Ghanaian billionaire businessman, Henry Djaba Jnr, son of the late Henry Djaba Snr, Ghana’s famous and renowned industrialist and business, have been struck out by a Magistrate’s Court in Gwagwalada, Abuja.
He was consequently discharged of the charges.
Djaba Jnr had fallen out with agents of an aircraft owner he employed for their private flight services to fly his business associates around Africa for business purposes.
He was reported to the Police by the agents while he responded through Falana & Falana Law Firm, which handled the matter judiciously and got the Court to strike it out.
The cux of the matter: As the founder, owner, and current MD, and CEO of an International Oil and Gas company, Djaba Jnr. frequently sends private jets to pick up and drop off friends and associates all over the world.
Trouble started between Henry and the agents of one of the private jet owners when, having paid in excess of $55,000 and $24,000 respectively, for a couple of short one hour flights to pick up and drop off some business associates, the billionaire businessman who does business a lot in Nigeria was mischeviously and wrongly accused of owing two agents / touts, allegedly working for the aircraft owners, who did not deny having collected over $55,000 and $24,000 respectively, from him.
These agents proceeded to make unsubtantiated allegations against Djaba Jnr even after having received these monies.
As a result, the matter was reported to the police.v Thereafter, the Commissioner of Police charged the case to court .
The private plane service providers’ agent consequently went on a smear campaign against Djaba Jnr, a move that was seen by him as an attempt to damage his reputation with his foreign business contacts.
Djaba Jnr. has close friends, business partners, and associates all over the world.
On the day these two allegations claiming Djaba Jnr owed these agents cMe up for mention at the Gwagwalada Magistrates Court, in Abuja, several on-line publications immediately went viral with the story, while sensationalising the unsubtantiated allegations made by these agents, who
failed in their attempts to extort and blackmail him, thus resorting to employing online means to malign and defame the character of Djaba Jnr.
Djaba Jnr employed one of the best law firms in Nigeria, Falana and Falana Chambers, who had successfully represented him in the matters, resulting in the judge hearing the case and striking it out.
THE CONCLAVE reports that the law firm was determined to defend the good name of their client, Henry Djaba Jnr, who is a successful International Financier working in different countries worldwide, implementing major infrastructure projects involving billions of US Dollars, vital to certain countries.
Falana & Falana Law Chambers’ hard work backed with evidence, paid off, as both cases filed by the agents against Djaba Jnr were struck out on the 27th of February 2023 at Gwagwalada Magistrates Court, Abuja.
Both cases filed by the private flight provider’s agents were struck out by the judge.
With this win on the part of Henry Djaba Jnr, it remains to be seen whether he would go ahead and sue them for the damages they had already done, as the agents of this company had embarked on an on-line smear campaign against him.
