THE Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced the suspension of Centurion Registrars Limited, along with its directors and sponsored individuals, barring them from operating in the capital market.
The commission disclosed this in a statement titled “Additional Enforcement Measures on Erring Capital Market Operators”, advising all Centurion Registrars clients to contact Africa Prudential Plc for guidance.
This action is part of SEC’s intensified crackdown in 2025 against illegal capital market operators.
In addition to the suspension, SEC revealed plans to publish the names of violators in a “Name and Shame” journal, reinforcing its zero-tolerance policy for infractions.
According to the commission, this measure aligns with its newly revised enforcement strategies and will be in addition to existing penalties and sanctions prescribed under the Investment and Securities Act (ISA) 2007 and SEC regulations.
The SEC also recently revoked the registration of Mainland Trust Limited, citing regulatory non-compliance and unresolved complaints against the company.
