The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) has taken over assets belonging to Aeroland Travels Limited and its directors over an indebtedness of N1.8 billion.
This action is hinged on the order of Justice D.E. Osiagor of the Federal High Court, Lagos Division .
Justice Osiagor gave the ruling on February 7, 2022, and in compliance to the enforcement order of the court, AMCON put logistics together, and on Friday May 6, took effective possession of the nine properties as listed by the court through its Debt Recovery Agent – Robert Ohuoba & Co.

The court also ordered the freezing of the bank accounts and shares of the company’s directors including Mr. Segun Adewale and Mrs. Victoria Adewale. The court additionally granted AMCON rights to seize any other landed property in any other place that may be found within the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court belonging to Aeroland Travels Limited or either of its directors.
AMCON spokesperson, Jude Nwauzor, confirmed that all the property as listed in the court order have been taken over by AMCON with the assistance of court bailiffs among other officials of the law.
AMCON had purchased the Non-Performing Loan (NPL) of Aeroland Travels Limited from Polaris Bank (formerly Skye Bank) in 2018.
Until the coming of the order of the court, all previous efforts by AMCON and its representatives to resolve the debt amicably with the obligor had proved abortive, which was why the corporation resorted to the court for justice.
