Ghanaian businessman, Henry Djaba Jnr, the son of late Henry Djaba Snr, Ghana’s famous and renowned Industrialist and Businessman, got justice at the Gwagwalada Magistrate court, Abuja, when the judge sitting over a fraud case made against him dismissed the case.
A few months back, Henry Djaba jr had a fallout with agents of an aircraft owner he employed for their private flight services to fly his business associates around Africa for business purposes.
As the founder, owner, current MD, and CEO of an International Oil and Gas company, Henry 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 companies 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 discreet billionaire, who does business a lot in Nigeria was mischievously and wrongly accused of owing two agents/touts, allegedly working for the aircraft owners, who do not deny having collected over $55,000 and $24,000 respectively, from him.
These agents proceeded to make unsubstantiated allegations against Henry, even after having received these monies.
As a result, the matter was reported to the police thereafter ,the Commissioner of Police referred the case to the court .
Immediately the matter was charged to court, the private plane service provider’s agents went on a smear campaign on Henry,by making public the case using several online medium to make it go viral in a bid to sensationalise the unsubtantiated allegations made by these agents.
This move was viewed by Henry as an attempt to damage his reputation with his foreign business contacts.
Henry Djaba Jnr. has close friends, business partners and associates all over the world, who are the rulers of and pillars of society in their countries in different continents.
The agents failed attempts to extort and blackmail Henry saw them resorting to employing other means to malign and defame his character, knowing that he is an International Oil and Gas and Construction magnate.
To correct the false narrative filed as charges against him and get justice, Henry employed the law firm, Falana and Falana Chambers, who successfully represented him in the matters.
As a result, after hearing the 2 cases, the Judge struck out both cases on the 27th of February,2023.
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 have already done, as the agents of this company had embarked on an on-line smear campaign against Henry, which is a clear case of slander and defamation of character to extort innocent people.
Notwithstanding the ugly incident, the Ghanaian billionaire has continued his regular business travels using other private Jet companies as this is how he has moved around conducting his business affairs all his life, a lifestyle he has been used to from his early years.
