The
Group Chairman of NICON Investment Limited, Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim, has said 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.’’
