The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, has declared that aircraft in the presidential fleet are sovereign assets used solely for sovereign purposes and are therefore immune from attachment by any entity.

This statement comes after three presidential aircraft undergoing routine maintenance in France were seized pursuant to ex parte orders issued by the Judicial Court of Paris.

Fagbemi stressed that the federal government is exploring both diplomatic and legal means to address the issue. He stated that the Office of the National Security Adviser and the Attorney General of the Federation are working together to ensure the discharge of the orders against the aircraft, which are protected by sovereign immunity.

“While further actions are being put in place to resolve the entire dispute through available legal means, the firm position of the federal government remains that the aircrafts in question are sovereign assets used solely for sovereign purposes and are therefore immune from attachment as Zhongshan has sought to do,’’ he said.

The minister’s statement was in response to the seizure of the presidential aircraft due to an alleged debt owed by the Nigerian government. He clarified that the orders were obtained by Zhongshan Industrial Investment Company Limited, a Chinese company seeking to enforce an arbitral award granted in its favour against the Ogun State government.

The question is that has the Arbitration proceedings been reported to the Government of Nigeria, No

Does the Agreement contain Lien Clause, transferable to Federal Government or its Citizens, NATIONAL ASSEBLY should know.

Illiterate, do you think the jets are abroad for official visits?, they are there for repairs and maintance pending when they would be sold off. And the new jet is coming home when transaction is completed, You want to seize presidential jets, who born you?, you wailers i no dey envy you at all.

Why you dey cry give us..

You go owe person, flouted the agreement and you want to hide behind immunity that you've already bastardized criminally

So what is it doing in Paris.

Where are all the so called IGR generated by Ogun state?
They claim Ogun IGR is higher than the entire south east region..Ogun state should have save Nigeria from this international shame and embarrassment.

Why did Tinubu go ahead to purchase not one but 3
Three jets knowing fully well the situation of Nigeria economy where did the money come from?

Finally what's the essence of still maintaining diplomatic or slavery relationship with western countries like France and USA ? Why can't we cut ties with them like Burkina Faso, Mali and Chad have done?

This shows that USA have something damaging against Tinubu and they are using it to control his government like puppet..

Yet again APC government a Yoruba/Hausa/Fulanis party has brought shame to this country...

No, we don't have any president. The world know he rigged himself in. They see them as a group of organized thugs that seized a whole country, sharing the loots among themselves and to any angle that question their legitimacy.

How stupid can you be really. The jets have been seized so I don’t understand what you mean by who ceases presidential jets. The jets have been ceased Oga. Stop the Cho Cho. They have seized them. Mumu

Zhongshan has released a statement saying the did what they did inorder to negotiate with FG in the dispute with Ogun state government. Only a slowpoke wailer with low I.Q would think presidential assests could be seized over a contractual dispute.

You are the person that lacks I.Q because the judgement says it HAS been temporarily seized. Is it that you lack sense or just want to ignore it. They HAVE SEIZED THE JETS, until another judgement comes in invalidate it the jets remain seized. Please go and read abeg and don’t quote me again.
