A former lead counsel of pro-Biafra activist, Nnamdi Kanu, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has said the seizure of Nigeria’s presidential jets by a Chinese company signifies an impending disaster.
Ejiofor described the seizure of Nigeria’s presidential jets by a Chinese company as a disgrace.
It could be recalled that a Chinese firm, Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Company seized three presidential jets undergoing routine maintenance in France.
The seizure followed a contract revoked by the Ogun State government in 2016.
Reacting, Ejiofor warned that such action indicated that Nigeria’s sovereignty is under threat.
Posting on his Facebook page, he wrote: “We are no longer under any form of illusion that Nigeria’s sovereignty is under serious threat, amid mountain debt concerns.
“Unfortunately Nigerians are not paying commensurate attention to this impending disaster.
“On August 15, 2024, three presidential aircraft undergoing maintenance in Paris were temporarily seized in strict compliance with a court order – What an international disgrace!
“The unfortunate reality is that with the Nigerian Government’s growing habit of excessive and reckless borrowing, it is increasingly likely that we may one day wake up to find Nigeria’s assets and the entire Nigerians tied to foreign judgments. It is only a matter of time.”
