Court Seizes Femi Otedola’s Zenon Petroleum’s Headquarters Over N7.2bn Debt




The Court of Appeal in Lagos has ordered the seizure of Femi Otedola’s Zenon Petroleum & Gas Limited’s Victoria Island headquarters over an unpaid judgement debt of N7.2 billion.

In a ruling delivered on June 26, 2025, the appellate court directed the attachment of the company’s asset, Victoria Island Towers, following a prolonged legal battle between the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) and Zenon Petroleum.

AMCON had previously secured a judgement from the Federal High Court in Lagos against the company for its indebtedness, which led to the enforcement order by the Court of Appeal.

Under the ruling, Zenon’s management, led by Mr. Femi Otedola, is barred from selling, transferring, or dealing in the property until the debt is fully settled.

The court further appointed a Deputy Chief Registrar to oversee the enforcement process and ensure compliance with the order.

A devious plot orchestrated by former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), and disgraced ex-Representative Muhammad Shehu Koko to destabilise Kebbi State has spectacularly backfired. The duo, now prominent figures in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), allegedly imported notorious bandits and thugs to wreak havoc in the state, only to be met with fierce resistance from enraged residents and loyal All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters. The incident, which unfolded on Monday in Birnin Kebbi, has exposed the underhanded tactics of Malami and Koko, revealing a sordid pact rooted in political desperation and criminal collusion. According to multiple sources, Malami and Koko, both recent defectors from the APC to the ADC, conspired to unleash chaos in Kebbi State to bolster their fledgling political relevance.
