   Mballou Fofana, the Philadelphia-based entrepreneur behind Le Mandingue African Restaurant, is expanding her African food business as she moves to take the brand’s products into households across the United States. The planned expansion comes as Fofana continues to build on business interests that include hospitality and real estate, with her property portfolio reportedly valued at about $15 million. Fofana’s rise in business followed a life-changing experience in 1998 when she lost one of her legs in an accident. Rather than allowing the setback to halt her ambitions, she continued to pursue opportunities in the United States, eventually establishing herself as an entrepreneur in the hospitality and property sectors. Her Le Mandingue African Restaurant has operated in the Philadelphia area for more than two decades, serving West African dishes to customers while providing a platform for the exposure of African culinary traditions.

Kudiwave Technologies Limited has petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, over the alleged transfer and continued withholding of N750 million from its PalmPay account. The company, through its solicitor, Tony Eseigbe & Co., in a petition dated September 14, 2026, is seeking an independent and forensic investigation into the circumstances surrounding the movement of the funds by the Special Fraud Unit (SFU), Ikoyi, Lagos.

Kudiwave alleged that the SFU, however, linked the funds in its PalmPay account to money purportedly originating from UBA and subsequently moving through several companies. How the N750m Transaction Began Ku...

 A new phase has emerged in the dispute involving PalmPay Limited and KudiWave Technologies Limited, with media organisations that reported developments in the matter said to have received messages from PalmPay warning of possible arrest and demanding the removal of published stories. The warnings followed media coverage of two major developments in the dispute. The first concerned the movement of N750,369,439.04 from KudiWave’s account by PalmPay. The second involved PalmPay’s reported position that KudiWave’s address and the ownership of the account were unknown, a claim KudiWave later challenged with documents and evidence of previous dealings between both companies. One of the major pieces of evidence presented by KudiWave was a PalmPay correspondence dated July 28, which expressly identified KudiWave Technologies Limited and Account No. 8889232516. In the same letter, PalmPay asked the Nigeria Police Force to transfer N750,369,439.04, which it described as standing in a design...
