The Group Chairman of NICON Investment Limited, Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim,
said yesterday that nobody in Nigeria can seize his properties.
Ibrahim, who in a
statement yesterday, was reacting to a report which said a Federal High Court
sitting in Lagos, had given Assets
Management Company of Nigeria, AMCON, an interim judgement to take over his
firms over N50 billion debt, said: ‘’My attention has been directed to lies
being spread around by an institution called
AMCON over an interim order of injunction she had lied to collect before
an innocent Federal High Court in Lagos ‘’AMCON is aware that we keep a deposit
of Eighty-Six billion Naira or 172 million pounds with Union Bank and AMCON is
aware that application to collect the money from Union Bank is pending before
an Ikeja High Court. All of these facts, it has not disclosed to an innocent Federal High Court.
‘’AMCON deceived Nigerians to believe that they got
judgement against me when there was nothing like that. An interim order of any
court last for 14 days. AMCON is
executing the interim order even when the Judge has not signed the
execution writ. ‘’We have since filed an
application to discharge the interim order. I’m not in the category of people that AMCON or anybody can
intimidate. It is laughable and a wide ambition to say anyone in Nigeria can
seize my property! What a day dream!! ‘’We shall abide with the law and any
interim order of court even when they are
made in error as we are not far away from justice.’’
