Contrary to the news making the rounds, Aero Contractors, and the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON), said they are totally unaware of the diversion of any $3million belonging to both or either organisation meant for the acquisition of a Bombardier aircraft for Aero Contractors Limited, talk less of a refund by Bombardier, a reputable aircraft manufacturer still in existence.
The management of Aero in a statement was referring to a story published in one of the dailies, claiming that the the medium ‘made the spurious claim in an interview with the newspaper. The allegations he spewed in the interview is one of those desperate but futile efforts to malign Aero Contractors and AMCON that is saddled with the difficult national assignment of recovering debts from stubborn, and recalcitrant obligors.’
“Reading deeper into the story however, it is obvious that the so-called Engineer Femi Adeniji is out for vengeance having owned up in the same Medium story that he and his partners had approached AMCON sometime in 2018 with a proposal to manage the airline but did not get the business. This approach of trying to get back at AMCON for not getting a business is rather unfortunate, and unprofessional to say the least.
“The public should therefore disregard this deceptive news item, the basis of which is totally unknown to us, which is entirely created from the imagination of Adeniji but mischievously scripted to give Aero Contractors and AMCON a bad name as well as mislead the reading public.”, Aero management said.
