Senator Buhari Is Being Blackmailed, GTB Owing Abadat — Henry Okosun, Abadat MD

Henry Okosun, Managing director of Abadat Ventures, the company belonging to Dr. AbdulFatai Buhari, senator representing Oyo North senatorial district, has reacted to the reported seizure of some of his Abuja properties by the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria, AMCON.

“And when we discovered that GTB was clandestinely charging us 30 per cent, we requested for our statements which they refused to give to us in 2009. When we eventually got the statements through AMCON ‘s intervention, we discovered a lot of foul play through the forensic audit that was carried out. GTB is the one owing Abadat according to the audit report. And we went to court and the case is still in court with AMCON and GTB still sending their lawyers anytime there is a court sitting. What AMCON did was a blackmail against the senator,” he explained.

Also speaking, lawyer to the Ogbomoso-born politician, Ahmed Raji, SAN, said his client’s assets have not been taken over by AMCON.

“It is not correct that AMCON has taken over Senator Buhari’s assets in Abuja. There is a subsisting suit on the matter since 2013 and no judgement has been rendered. Self help is not allowed just as suppression of facts is deprecated in our j
