Corporate Dispute Over Nigerian Ceramics Company Involves Dongfeng and EFCC

A corporate dispute concerning Crown Ceramics Nigeria Limited has escalated into multiple court cases and regulatory interventions in Nigeria. The conflict centers on a disagreement between majority shareholders and minority shareholder Chen Dongfeng, who holds about eight per cent equity. The dispute has involved the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Corporate Affairs Commission.

The dispute involves allegations that the majority shareholders have been denied access to the company’s factory, financial records, and corporate decision-making since March 2025. This conflict challenges the effective control and financial access of Dongfeng in its Nigerian subsidiary.
