Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, Chairman of Ranent Industries Company Ltd Oba, Anambra State has called Governor Chukwuma Soludo to investigate Tansian University for forging his company Certificate of Occupancy (CofO) with State’s stamp with the intention to commit fraud.
Ranent Industries Company Ltd Oba, Anambra State, had issued a disclaimer on a Certificate of Occupancy (CofO) circulated by Tansian University claiming the University bought the premises of the company for the purpose of establishing take-off site, calling it fake.
In the disclaimer issued on Monday, Ranent Industries said that the document titled, “Building Certificate of Occupancy – Statutory Certificate” and other related documents making the rounds, according to it investigation, did not emanate from the Anambra State Government.
“It fake, its forged, everything about Tansian University is false,” he said.
Ranent Industries admonished the general public and all stakeholders, to pay no attention to the documents, as it is the handiwork of mischief makers whose main target is to “defraud unsuspecting individuals and in their desperate attempts to reap where they did not sow.
He said the fake C of O has been reported to the authorities of the Nigeria Police Force and we will do everything possible under the law to ensure that the masterminds of the fraud are brought to book.
The statement reads: “The attention of Ranent Industries Company Ltd Oba, Anambra State has been drawn to a forged Certificate of Occupancy (CofO) of the company’s properties being paraded by Innocent Ukeh purporting to have been issued to Tansian University by Anambra State Governor through the office of the Honourable Commissioner for Lands Anambra State.
“Members of the public and all stakeholders are by this notice strongly advised to disregard these fake documents in their entirety, as they are the handiwork of unscrupulous persons and mischief makers whose sole motive is to defraud unsuspecting individuals and steal the properties of Ranent Industries Company Ltd.
“Ranent Industries Company Ltd Oba was never sold to Msgr. John Bosco Akam, Tansian University or whosoever as claimed by the perpetual forgers
“After impasse with Tansian University, Umunya between 2007 to 2010 over ownership of Tansian University where I used my property to help secure provisional operational license for the University, Tansian University and Ranent Industries Company Ltd reached a mutual agreement and settled that the company property was never bought by Msgr Akam, therein a Consent Judgment was deposed in the Anambra High Court, wherein it was judged the University was only a tenant with tenancy rate of 10,000,000 per annum.
“Msgr Akam paid the rent otherwise referred to as in our Consent Judgement as Honorarium for several years. Suddenly, without notice, apparently acting on the counsels of Fr. Edwin Obiorah, Msgr Akam stopped paying and sued Ranent Industries to Court. Fortunately, Anambra State High Court judgment ordered Tansian University to pay arrears of stay in the property and immediately vacate the take –off campus in Oba.
“Subsequently, Ranent Industries Company Ltd took all necessary action to successfully recover its landed property, in a more considerate manner.
“Unfortunately in their most dangerous desperation, the University forged Renant Industries Company’s C of O purporting it emanated from the Anambra State government. But our painstaking investigation, it was discovered that Anambra State Government never issued any documents transfering ownership of the property of Ranent Industries Company Ltd to anyone.
“While calling on Anambra State government to investigate this criminal act of forgery and bring the perpetrators to book, we wish to state unequivocally that original land matter and it’s documents between Chief Ezeonwuka and Johnbosco Akam ended in 2010.
