El Maniel to buy 20% stake in Ghana’s Agona Rural Bank
El Maniel International is planning to acquire a 20% stake in the Agona Rural Bank under its Rural Community Bank (RCB) acquisition programme.
According to the company, ongoing discussions with the Agona Rural Bank are at an advanced stage and they are happy with the tremendous synergies and opportunities available to them.
“El Maniel will be acquiring 20% stakes of Agona Rural Bank and we are expecting to enter into a Definitive Agreement with Agona Rural Bank by Mid-February 2011”, Jamie Khoo, CEO of El Maniel International was cited in a press release issued on February, 11, 2011.
According to the release, Khoo said “Agona Rural Bank brings to the affiliation a large array of banking and investment opportunities as well as a stellar record of earnings and dividends growth” adding that the acquisition will gear towards the collective benefits in favor of shareholders, customers, employees and the community served.
On January 18, 2011, ghanabusinessnews.com carried a news item headlined “Ghana rural banks attract investment from El Maniel.” In that story El Maniel’s Board was reported to have unanimously agree to acquire Rural Community Banks in Ghana, especially those operating in mining areas. The decision according to the report is seen as one of the company’s significant business growth and development milestones.
El Maniel says it is a publicly traded ventures and holdings company with a current focus in gold field exploration and mining, oil terminal operations and philatelic investments.

Ben Donkor and John Ofori of the Agona Rural bank have no idea what they are about to get into. This company is a stock fraud in America, run by Singapore stock manipulators on the pink sheets OTC. The only money they have is what they dumped in the open market from stock sales.
As I have stated before El maniel has no money to buy 20% of this bank and all the news releases it has done before were purchase agreements to pay millions of dollars that NEVER happened. maybe they have manipulated John ofori to believe that this bank can pay those big outstanding debts. Is this what our initiative to allow forein buyers of our industries are all about/ dealing with pink sheet con men? This is the news today then::::
