…Ogun Moves To Vacate Seizure Order, Faults Fraudulent Legal Process By Zhongashan

Ogun State Government yesterday, faulted the judicial process that led to the provisional attachment of three Nigerian government owned aircraft in France by the Judicial Court of Paris on March 7 and August 2.

Recall that a Chinese company, Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Co. Ltd, had sought several orders from the court over an aborted underlying contract between the company and Ogun State Government, which was initiated in 2007.

In a statement signed by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade, the state government described the latest development as the new antics by the Chinese company to appropriate Nigerian assets in foreign jurisdictions, as past efforts had continually failed.

The statement described the whole legal process as nothing but a total charade with fraudulent notion, adding that the company deliberately concealed the litigation from both the Nigerian government and Ogun State, as well as their legal counsels before hurriedly securing orders of seizure.
