The Nigeria Police Force has filed a six-count criminal charge against Ms Gail Fajembola and her company, GIF Energy Resources Ltd, before the Federal High Court in Lagos.

The case, filed under Charge No: FHC/L/973C/2025 — Inspector General of Police v. Gail Fajembola & GIF Energy Resources Ltd — follows a petition submitted by business executive Tunde Ayeni over a property-related dispute.

According to court documents obtained by our reporter, the charges border on alleged forgery, false representation, and fraudulent conversion. The case is linked to a property located in Banana Island, Lagos, reportedly the subject of a tenancy dispute between both parties.

In a statement issued on Monday, Ayeni confirmed that he had petitioned the authorities after discovering what he described as “a disturbing case of misrepresentation and unauthorized transactions involving one of my companies.”

“My attention was drawn to certain actions that raised serious concerns about the use and representation of a property belonging to one of my firms,” he said. “I decided to seek redress through the appropriate legal channels to ensure that justice is done.”

He stated that following his petition, the police invited Ms Fajembola for questioning, and subsequent findings led to the filing of criminal charges before the Federal High Court.

“This matter is now before the judiciary, and I believe in allowing due process to take its full course,” Ayeni said.

“I urge the public to disregard false and misleading claims circulating on social media, which are aimed at diverting attention from the ongoing legal process. I have full confidence that justice will be done.”

As of press time, Ms Gail Fajembola and representatives of GIF Energy Resources Ltd had not publicly responded to the charges.

The case is expected to come up for mention at the Federal High Court, Lagos, later this month.
