Press Release
Our attention has been drawn to a news report published by various online media that the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has authorised the Attorney-General of Federation (AGF) to commence the prosecution of a Lagos businessman, Innocent Chukwuma, his company, Innoson Nigeria Limited, and four others for alleged forgery. Ordinarily, we would not have dignified this news report with a response but in a nation where silence may be seen as an admission of guilt, we therefore come out to state the true position of things.
Although there is a charge pending against Innoson Nigeria Ltd, the charge is a trump up. To this end, the police have through its letter of 17th February 2016 discontinued the charge in order to further investigate the matter. Also, Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation through paragraph 10 of its opinion referenced DPPF 30/03/2016 contained in the policy file of the Ministry of Justice directed that the charge be discontinued and the file sent back to the police to further investigate the matter.
The court never ordered or directed the Attorney General of the Federation to take over the case since and more importantly no court in Nigeria has such power over the AGF.
Already Innoson has over N15billion judgment in its favour against Guaranty Trust Bank (who is sponsoring the charge) in suit no Fhc/AWK/CS/139/2012, suit no Fhc/L/CS/603/2006 and Appeal no CA/I/258/2011 and Appeal no CA/E/288/2014. The charge is to blackmail Innoson and to force it to forgo the judgments sums of over N15Billion.
The futility of the charge and the fact that it is a trump is demonstrated by the following:
a) GTB kept and continues to keep a register where all its customers sign for every bill of lading it collected from it. Innoson signed for all the bills of lading it collected from GTB including the ones in dispute in GTB's register. During the investigation and till date GTB failed and refused to produce the register on the ground that it was destroyed by fire that gutted its office;
b) in suit no Fhc/AWK/CS/139/2012 which was on excess and unlawful charges GTB imposed on Innoson's current account with it, GTB raised the issue of forged Bills of lading but could not establish that and Innoson got a judgment in excess of N4.7Billion against GTB therein;
c) the bills of lading which GTB is parading as forged is not more than five and the goods imported with them is not up to N100Million. The question therefore is, how did the sum become N2.4Billion?; what are contained in the containers evidenced by the Bills of lading in issue that is worth N2.4Billion.
We therefore urge the general public to disregard the news publication as this is a smear campaign to undermine the integrity of Dr Innocent Chukwuma OFR.

This is getting quite interesting

Nonsense write-up

"....the bills of lading which GTB is parading as forged is not more than five and the goods imported with them is not up to N100Million."

Charge Sheet:

"Mr. Diri alleged that the accused persons ( Charles Chukwu, Maximilian Chukwura, Mitsui Osk Lines, Annajekwu Sunny, Innocent Chukwuma, his company, Innoson Nigeria Limited) harboured an intention to defraud Mitsui Osk Lines via the falsified the documents, which were used as collateral to obtain a loan of N2.4billion from Guaranty Trust Bank Plc."

Did your Chairman collude to forge the bill of lading - yes/no?

Nonsense ---public relations job

Zombiesm wouldn't allow you to read, let alone comprehend the submission posted by Innoson.

LadyExcellency:


Zombiesm wouldn't allow you to read, let alone comprehend the submission posted by Innoson.

If you know better, can you defend the Chairman? if indeed he didn't collude to forge the documents with the intent to defraud...

They want to destroy and clamp down on Innoson motors like they did to Ibeto.

Why haven't the Daura goro-chewing child defiler dragged Amaechi to court despite having many records of embezzlement??

May thunder strike Buhari and his retinue of haters

It is better the way you came out to dispute it because right now 'witches and wizards' from a section of the country are masturbating over the news and celebrating in their covens.

They have been looking for a way to bring down everything that belongs to the Igbos. Apc, Hausa and Yoruba tribeso are bunches of bad Belle,

If it's not igbo shops today, it's another lies to bring the efforts of our hustling tomorrow.

They are all angry because innoson is the first African own Car Manufacturing industry.

Keep your hates HATERS!!!!

"....the bills of lading which GTB is parading as forged is not more than five and the goods imported with them is not up to N100Million."

After all those shouting war against the igbo can now shut up.

They just admitted they are somehow guilty. 100 million or not. Fraud is fraud.


*modified *
For you all quoting and calling me names. This my comment didn't start here. I quoted him because he said Sahara reporters are lying. That there was no case against innoson. That comment was in the first thread.
Once again must everything here turn to tribal wars?

For reference sake. This is where it started and the link as well.

zuchyblink:
Sahara reporters never disappoints with their pull-him-down news against Igbos,contunu the more you blackmail him,the more he keeps rolling out new machines. Sahara reporters never knew him when he was an apprentice. I see this as a cheap blackmail from a cheap media outfit

Bros no long story. If u know d man isn't guilty, defend him with proofs.... thats wat Keneking was saying

Mr Innoson, you and GTB should sort the issue out at the proper court with with team of nothing less than 90 legal counsels each.

GTB better behave as a visionary organisation that you ought to be.
You burned the said register where the documentation is, now what are you prosecuting INNOSON with? Word of mouth?
Get your facts right.

If INNOSON and his ''brothers'' start avoiding your bank now, you will start shouting marginalization.
The man you are going after is at par with anything you may represent.
