KREENO CONSORTIUM: Nigeria’s Trusted Leader in Debt Recovery and Private Investigation

In today’s complex financial environment, where billions in revenue are lost annually to unpaid debts, fraud, contract defaults, and systemic financial leakages, the need for a reliable, ethical, and results-driven recovery partner has never been greater. Across Nigeria’s banking sector, oil and gas industry, telecommunications networks, corporate Nigeria, and public institutions, unpaid obligations are not just accounting entries, they are direct threats to operational sustainability, investor confidence, and national economic resilience. At the heart of this growing challenge stands a solution: KREENO Debt Recovery and Private Investigation Agency (a.k.a Kreeno Consortium)

For over 15 years, KREENO has redefined what it means to recover what is owed. We are not a conventional debt collection firm that relies on pressure tactics or empty threats. We are a strategic intelligence, debt, and asset recovery institution, built on the principles of legality, discretion, and forensic precision. Our mandate goes beyond chasing payments, it extends to uncovering financial deception, tracing concealed assets, supporting criminal litigation, and restoring integrity-in-business culture (DNA) in both private and public sectors. 

KREENO operates at the intersection of law, finance, and investigative science. Our methodologies are modeled after international best practices used by global enforcement bodies such as the International Criminal Court (ICC), the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and leading financial intelligence units. We apply layered investigative techniques, digital forensics, asset mapping, debtor profiling, and legal enforcement strategies to ensure that every recovery is not only successful but sustainable and court-admissible.

This is the new frontier of debt recovery: intelligence-led, legally compliant, and outcome-focused. And in a country where non-performing loans exceed ₦5 trillion, where government agencies lose billions in uncollected taxes and royalties, and where corporate fraud is increasingly sophisticated, KREENO is not just relevant, we are essential.

The Strategic Partner Every Institution Needs

Nigeria’s economic landscape is under siege from multiple fronts. Banks are burdened with bad loans that erode capital adequacy and deter foreign investment. Oil companies face massive losses from under-remitted royalties, fraudulent joint venture accounting, and supply chain defaults. Telecommunications firms lose revenue daily to SIM box fraud, tower vandalism, and retail-level subscription defaults. Government ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) struggle to recover funds from contractors who fail to deliver, suppliers who invoice for undelivered goods, and individuals who evade tax obligations.

While most organizations have legal departments and risk management teams, few possess the specialized field capability to locate hidden assets, verify financial misstatements, or execute enforceable recovery strategies. Internal teams often lack the investigative tools, cross-border reach, or operational agility required to confront modern financial crime. This is where KREENO steps in, not as a contractor, but as a strategic recovery partner.

Our team comprises trained field operatives, forensic analysts, legal recovery experts, and negotiation specialists, all vetted for integrity and experience. We deploy a multi-phase recovery model that begins with intelligence gathering and ends with enforceable repayment. Whether the debt is commercial, contractual, or institutional, our process is consistent: verify, locate, engage, and recover.

Take, for example, a recent case involving a defaulted facility worth over ₦3 billion owed to a major financial institution. Previous recovery attempts had stalled due to lack of asset visibility and legal deadlock. KREENO was engaged to conduct a comprehensive debtor profile. Using proprietary tracking methods, we identified multiple undeclared properties, including a high-value estate in Eleko Beach, Lagos. We also uncovered offshore financial movements linked to shell companies. Armed with this evidence, we initiated structured negotiations, presented irrefutable documentation, and secured a full settlement within six weeks. The case is now being formalized for closure.

This is not luck. This is systematic recovery intelligence - the KREENO standard.

Our services extend far beyond debt collection. We offer corporate investigations that uncover insider fraud, payroll padding, procurement manipulation, issuance of dud cheques, diversion of funds, and financial statement falsification. For government agencies, we assist in tracing diverted public funds, identifying ghost workers, and verifying contractor performance. In the oil and gas sector, we support equity audits and royalty recovery through forensic financial analysis. For telcos, we investigate infrastructure sabotage and revenue leakage at distribution and retail levels.

One of our most impactful roles is in litigation support. Courts increasingly demand verifiable, admissible evidence, not just claims. KREENO prepares detailed case dossiers, obtains sworn affidavits, locates witnesses, and provides expert testimony where needed. Our documentation is routinely accepted by Nigerian courts because it meets the standards of the Evidence Act, the EFCC Act, and the Central Bank of Nigeria’s guidelines on non-performing loans. This legal robustness gives our clients a decisive advantage in enforcement proceedings.

Equally critical is our commitment to confidentiality and brand protection. We understand that public exposure can damage reputations, trigger regulatory scrutiny, or destabilize business relationships. That is why every KREENO operation is conducted with the highest level of discretion. Our clients include top-tier banks, publicly listed companies, and federal agencies, many of whom choose not to disclose our involvement, yet consistently renew our services due to proven results.

Our compliance framework stands as a pillar of credibility and operational integrity. At KREENO, we operate strictly within Nigeria’s legal and regulatory environment—fully compliant with the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act and aligned with international asset recovery protocols. Whilst we await the passage of the proposed Nigeria Private Investigator Act by the National Assembly, we continue to advocate for the formalisation of this industry, one that holds the potential to absorb hundreds of thousands of university graduates into a legitimate, non-combative profession without requiring a Nigeria Police Force uniform. We do not resort to harassment, intimidation, or unlawful surveillance. Our strength does not lie in force, but in facts, in law, and in the intelligent application of strategic pressure.

At the core of KREENO’s success is our leadership. I, Dr. Ohio O. Ojeagbase, serve as Chief Recovery Partner and visionary leader of this institution alongside my team of ex-bankers and legal prosecutors. My background in private investigation, debt recovery, sustainable business systems, corporate governance, corporate turnaround, credit administration, and financial ethics has shaped KREENO’s philosophy: Integrity in Business. Intelligence in Action. This is not a slogan, it is our operating code.

My doctoral research into financial resilience in emerging markets directly informs our recovery models. I have advised financial institutions, regulatory bodies, and multinational firms on risk mitigation and asset protection. Through public speaking, policy engagement, and thought leadership, I continue to advocate for a Nigeria where integrity in business DNA is non-negotiable and recovery is achievable.

Under my leadership, KREENO has expanded beyond Nigeria, building strategic alliances with asset tracing networks across Africa and key financial jurisdictions. We maintain access to pan-African debtor databases, collaborate with international legal experts, and leverage technology to track cross-border movements of funds and assets. This continental reach ensures that even when debtors flee jurisdiction, recovery remains possible.

But make no mistake: KREENO’s primary mission is Nigeria’s economic restoration. We believe that every recovered naira strengthens our financial system, funds public services, and rebuilds trust in institutions. When banks recover bad loans, they can lend more to SMEs. When governments reclaim lost revenue, they can invest in infrastructure. When corporations enforce contractual obligations, they create a culture of accountability.

Time is not on the side of inaction. Every day a debt remains unpaid, an asset is hidden, or a fraudster operates unchecked, the cost multiplies. Delayed recovery means lost interest, diminished collateral value, and weakened financial health. For decision-makers in boardrooms and government offices, the message is urgent: The time to act is now. 

KREENO is not here to make noise. We are here to deliver results: quietly, legally, and completely. We close cases. We recover assets. We restore balance sheets. We uphold justice.
