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, the Group Chairman of
NICON Investment Limited, Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim, yesterday said that nobody in
Nigeria can seize his properties.
In a statement release yesterday, Ibrahim 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,’’ the
statement reads.
