Owners of Nigerian private jet seized in South Africa with $9.3m cash release statement

It was revealed yesterday that South African police are investigating two Nigerians and an Israeli citizen who tried to bring $9.3m (about N1.48bn) in cash into the country illegally, in a supposed arms deal.

The funds were allegedly seized by the South African Revenue Servise at Lanseria Airport, north-west of Johannesburg, on September 5 and are now being held at the central bank pending police investigations.

South Africa’s City Press newspaper reported that bundles of unused $100 bills packed in three suitcases were transported in a small businessjet from the Nigerian capital, Abuja.
The three passengers said they were using it to buy arms for the Nigerian security services, City Press said.

Reports in some sectionsof the Nigerian media alleged that the private jet at the centre of the controversybelongs to the president of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Ayo Oritsejafor.
However, a company Eagle Air Company, has released a statementclaiming ownership of the aircraft but denying complicity in the movement of the cash.

The management of the company said in a statementthat the seized aircraft, a Bombardier Challenger 600, Registration No N808HG, had since the 2nd of August 2014 been leased to and is operated by Green CoastProduce Limited.

They said any issuesthereforehave to be directed to the Management of Green CoastProduce Limited.
On its own part, Green CoastProduce Limited released a statementconfirming that the aircraft was leased to it by Eagle Air.

“We have since that time been running and managing charterservices with the aircraft in accordance and compliance with global best practices.

“On the 5th of September 2014 the aircraft was hired from us by a John Ishyaku. The charterto John Ishyaku was upon the following documented terms:

a) Depart Abuja-Johanessburg on the 5th of September 2014
b) Return to Abuja on the 6th of September 2014
c) To wait and return with the passengers.

“The said terms are normative within the industry.

“As with every other aircraft chartercompany, our knowledge of the cargo carried on the aircraft was in accordance with the information provided by ABC Limited. All cargo were accompanied by passenger who could readily defend the contents. We are not and cannot be privy to any alleged extraneous cargo transported on the aircraft other than that declared in the agreed terms of hire.

“We are not liable and cannot be construed as a party to any alleged infractions, either in Nigeria or South Africa as he case may be, after the hire of the aircraft.

“We issue this statement without prejudice to any statutory or commissioned investigation being conducted or to be conducted in South Africa or Nigeria.”

It's no surprise. Everything in Nigeria is either politicised or reduced to tribal and religious sentiments. However, we still need to keep our fingers crossed for more breaking news as it unfolds.

The aircraft belongs to Oresayefor (Eagle air) which is exactly what Sahara reporters said so what's with all this noise.
If not for Sahara reporters will all this leassors come fort?
Whether the aircraft was leased and Re-leased again is not the issue. Bottom line it belongs to Oresayefor.
Can't remember Sahara reporters claiming he (Oresayefor) was in the craft when it was seized.

All these attacks on the CAN president are pointer to the fact that Nigeria is facing a religious war and not political war. The earlier we christians realised this the safer for us.

Hiding behind a company name is a classic manoeuvre used by aristocrats like Oritsejafor. I strongly believe investigation into the board of those companies mentioned will reveal Rev. Bling as Chairman or key board member. The expertise of someone in the aviation industry is also needed to clarify if it's standard practice to sub-lease an already leased aircraft. Thank goodness it's SA authorities doing the investigation and not our Mbu-esque police force.

I've searched on Google, but can't seem to find information on Eagle Air Company based in Nigeria or connected to Rev. Oritsajefor. Perhaps any other person has that information in black and white, let's have it. Until then, I'll still keep my fingers crossed without jumping into any conclusions.

This is page 1 of Google search on Eagle Air. Page 2 too doesn't have that information. So also page 3.

in other words, u are telling us dat anything dat has eagles on its name is a suspect, like super eagles of nigeria, eagle aromatic schnapps, etc. Nonsense! When we have issues like this, it wil not cause u much to wait for appropriate authority to conclude investigation before raising accusing fingers.

Why are you reaching a conclusion on my behalf? I typed what came to my mind after reading the explanation given, in addition to the former news that was trending. I did not categorically point finger at anybody yet, just thinking like any open minded person. I don't owe you this explanation but please don't quote or misquote me again. Thank you.
