Innoson Motors said it would move to the headquarters of Guaranty Trust Bank in Lagos to effect the judgement of courts that awarded it an estimated N8.8billion.

The company’s sp.okesman Cornell Osigwe said this in an interview with Daily Trust on Saturday.

Already, Innoson’s agents had sealed seven branches of the bank in Awka and Enugu and plans to take further action by sealing the head office of the top flight bank.

“From next week, we shall move to GTB head office to enforce the judgement of courts. We will sell those properties to get our money back”, Osigwe said.

GTB Plc has claimed that the judgement Innoson is executing was not against it but a customer of the bank, Nigerian Customs and Excise Board.

In a statement, the bank’s secretary, Eric Obebeduo said the garnishee order in question arose from a judgment of the Federal High Court, Ibadan, Oyo State.

The bank said the order was not against it but a customer of the bank, Nigerian Customs and Excise Board.

“It is important to state that the Judgment allegedly in issue is in respect of Garnishee Proceedings against the account of the Nigerian Customs Services Board domiciled with the Bank and not against the Bank as an entity.

“The Bank as a law-abiding corporate citizen is taking all necessary legal steps to address this situation and ensure that no illegal or fraudulent execution is carried out”, Obededuo said.

However, Innoson Motors Nigeria Limited said its action, the sealing of seven GTB offices in Awka and Enugu, followed a Supreme Court judgement that affirmed the earlier judgement by the high court and the appeal court in Ibadan.

Innoson in a statement on Friday claimed it obtained a court order to take control of GTB over indebtedness of N8.8 billion.

Osigwe said the company has obtained a writ of Fi fa from the Federal High Court sitting in Awka, Anambra State, against Guaranty Trust Bank( GTB) to take over the bank’s properties.

According to Osigwe, Innoson Chairman, Innocent Chukwuma, has been mandated by federal high court sitting in Awka, Anambra state to “take over” the bank after the supreme court dismissed GTB’s appeal against the judgement of the appeal court in Ibadan.

“The Chairman of Innoson Group, Chief Dr. Innocent Chukwuma, OFR hast through a Writ of Fi Fa taken over Guaranty Trust Bank PLC for and on behalf of Innoson Nigeria Ltd as a result of the bank’s indebtedness to Innoson Nigeria Ltd,”

“In a landmark decision on February 27th 2019, the Supreme Court of Nigeria had dismissed GTB’s appeal in a suit number SC.694/2014 — against the judgment of court of Appeal, Ibadan Division.

“The Court of Appeal, Ibadan division had in its decision of 6th February 2014 dismissed GTB’s appeal against thee Federal High Court, Ibadan Division.

“Thus, the Court of Appeal affirmed the judgment of the Federal High Court, Ibadan Division which ordered GTB by way of Garnishee order absolute to pay N2.4billion to Innoson with a 22 percent interest per annum, on the judgments until the final liquidation of the debt.

Rather than obey the judgment of the Court of Appeal, GTB approached the Supreme Court to challenge the Court of Appeal’s decision”

The company also said that in a ruling delivered by Supreme Court,Justice Olabode Rhodes-Vivour dismissed GTB’s appeal and affirmed the concurrent judgment of both the Court of Appeal and the Federal High Court, Ibadan Division.

According to the ruling, court ordered GTB to pay N2.4 billion to Innoson with a 22 percent interest, per annum, on the judgment until the final liquidation of the judgment.

“The Judgment debt of N2.4bn has accrued an interest of about N6,717,909,849.96 today, which results to about N8.8 billion,”

“Based on the Supreme Court’s decision of 27th February 2019 the counsel to Innoson , Prof McCarthy Mbadugha ESQ, approached the Federal High Court Awka Division for leave to enforce the judgment having obtained certificates of Judgment from the Ibadan Division of the Federal High court,” Osigwe said.

  28. In Paper Flight 2, see how far you can launch your paper aeroplane. In flight, collect stars and bonuses (such as extra speed and fuel) to keep your plane in the air as long as possible. Collecting stars and dollars means you can save up for upgrades to both your plane and the environment, keeping your plane in the air even longer! Making it far enough unlocks new arenas for your plane, where you can see how far you can fly from one throw! RealFlight® is the best tool new RC pilots can use when learning to fly. It also makes it possible for experienced RC pilots to practice new maneuvers and hone their skills to become even better pilots! Lumosity is an app featuring a variety of games that reportedly train your brain to become more agile in different ways. The free version of the app serves up three games from a collection each day for your brain workout. You can play each game as often as you want during the day. I love most of the games I have played so far, but my favorite by far is Train of Thought.

    Experience the best casino tournaments on the strip at Resorts World Las Vegas. Vegas World Is A Garbage Place. They Encourage Online Bullying And Harassment. Players Who Report Such Negative Behavior Have Action Taken Against Their Account. I Would ABSOLUTELY Not Recommend Vegas Word Or Any Of Their Other Casino Sites. In November 1993, Grand Casinos announced plans to purchase 33 percent of the Stratosphere and Vegas World by acquiring shares in Stupak’s Stratosphere Corporation. In September 1994, Stupak rehired 36 hotel maids who had been fired for wearing union buttons on their clothing during an ongoing dispute between Stupak and a local union. “Vegas World is redefining the category of social gaming by not only allowing players to share their gaming experience, but to interact on a much more personal level within a virtual world environment,” said Derrick Morton, CEO of FlowPlay. “This highly social atmosphere is fundamental in driving the player loyalty and retention that gives us industry leading metrics. Once you become a part of this community, it becomes part of your life.”
