Industrialists begs Tinubu over destruction of his company by Banks,other to intervene By Ifeoma Ikem
Industrialists begs Tinubu over destruction of his company by Banks,other to intervene
By Ifeoma Ikem
An industrialist, Chief Executive Officer of Algrain Foods Limited, Chief Anthony Obidulu has called on President Bola Tinubu, the Senate President, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwu-Olu and other well meaning Nigerians to save indigenous entrepreneurs and industrialists from what he described as the “crookedness with which some commercial banks manipulate accounting books relating to loans in a manner that cripple businesses in the country to the great advantage of banks.”
Addressing journalists in Lagos during a press briefing, Obidulu said he had been running the food company with about 300 direct employees and over 2800 indirect personnel who were deriving their means of livelihood from the company before the company got involved in a criminally orchestrated seizure by the First City Monument Bank and its collaborators with a view to destroying it.
Taking journalists round the multibillion naira production complex located in Canal Estate in Okota area of Lagos, he disclosed that all the assets of the company worth not less than N20billion had been criminally carted away by agents of the FCMB in the guise of carrying out a court judgment that was dubiously procured.
According to him,“Our company is one of the beneficiaries of the Federal Government’s intervention loans tagged Small and Medium Enterprises Credit Guarantee Scheme (SMECGS) in 2011.
We got a N100 million of the intervention fund through the bank (FCMB) because one of the conditions for getting the fund was that one must go through a commercial bank to access it. So we opened an account with the bank,from where the fund was accessed. But unfortunately,as the CEO what I personally thought would boost our business and increase the company’s economic base, turned out to be one of our worst economic decisions as a businessman.
“The N100 million was guaranteed by the Federal Government of Nigeria to the tune of 80% (Principal and interest) and tenure of 60 months with12months moratorium. Final date of repayment ought to be November, 2016 in respect of which the Central Bank of Nigeria issued a Guarantee Certificate to First City Monument Bank Plc.dated 15th March,2012 containing the afore-mentioned terms which the Bank concealed from the Federal High Court in securing the judgment they are peddling around.”
Pointing that “the action of the bank became a nightmare which has crippled our business since 2017 and continuing. The bank, cooked up some fictitious figures, and alleged that we owed about N350 million.They went to court behind us,procured an order to take over the company and eventually sealed the company.
As at the time they went to court, we had only touched the Federal Government’s money, not the bank’s money.The offer letter that has not been drawn down is what they relied on to convince the court that our company owed them. The judge did not look at the drawdown, while looking at the offer letter, and he gave the judgment without telling them how much money they can recover from Algrain Foods Limited, thereby giving them an open ticket that has led to the looting that has taken place in the factory as moveable assets worth over N20billion (Twenty Billion Naira) have been stolen from the factory with the aid of Mobile Policemen illegally procured from Mopol 20, Ikeja, Lagos.
“Drawdown means you have touched the money. For example, they gave you N100 million, you withdrew N80 million, and then, N20 million remains with the bank and attracts no interest. So,they used the offer letter and other manipulations to go to court. They had no right in the first place to enforce the loan which was not even due for repayment as at the time they appointed the Receiver/Manager because it has a tenure of 60 months,with 12 months moratorium.
“Final payment was to be due in November, 2016 (5th year anniversary of the facility). In fact the SMECGS guidelines issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria talks of 8 years tenure; it was an intervention fund for Small and medium enterprises engaged in the Agriculture value chain.We did not take any loan from the FCMB because there was no drawdown even on their own N205million (Two Hundred and Five Million Naira, they encouraged us to take in case of financial emergency. Neither was any such money utilized by our company If they claim otherwise, let the bank show any application to utilize this sum of money by Algrain Foods Limited,” he stated.
“Having played a fast one on our company by the bank (due to my absence from the country as I was overseas attending a conference) which has now taken over the company, we did not know what to do and where to start. In this desperation, after three months, we initially offered to give the bank N150 million so that the company could be re-opened temporarily.They said we should put it in writing and we did but they did not accept it. We wanted to use that period to study the documents they presented to the court to really understand what actually happened, but the bank demanded N450 million. It was at this point we assembled a team of experts in accounting, auditing and banking, as well as legal experts to assist us fight the legal battle that was imminent.
“Regrettably, the first thing the bank did was to overwhelm our team in a manner that created some ambiguity. The team reported that the bank was wrong to have said we owed them N350 million but rather said what we owed was N280 million. As the CEO of the company, I personally began to suspect that something was wrong and I used my contact to find out exactly what was happening. I got answers that confirmed my suspicion. So, we disbanded that team and set up a new team of lawyers, accountants, auditors and ex-bankers. We set up four accounting around the world, one in Toronto, Canada, one in Holland, another one in Enugu, and the fourth one was in Lagos. After two weeks of painstakingly looking into the books, the account was negative indicating that we were not owning the commercial bank.”
According to Obidulu, it is quite unimaginable how FCMB and its collaborators could get a court judgment that purportedly gave out a company with assets worth over N20billion to a receiver/manager Mr. Emmanuel Adeyeye Oyebanji (Senior Advocate of Nigeria) for an alleged debt of N350million. Shockingly and surprisingly, the assets had been sold to a foreign company which was in competition. “It is disheartening to say that a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Emmanuel Oyebanji, was appointed as Receiver/Manager by CSL Trustees Limited on behalf of First City Monument Bank (FCMB) when issues revolving around the disputed N350million loan had not been resolved. The Receiver Manager has converted, and sold assets worth about N20 billion belonging to our company Algrain Foods Limited- located at 15/17, Canal Avenue, Canal Estate, Okota, Lagos.”
Further, he asked “how can a judge give order that they should go and sell our company without ascertaining how much we owed. It was wrong to do so. That kind of judgment is what has killed many Nigerian businessmen. However, the Appeal Court ruling of 5th December, 2023 proved that the Judiciary can live up to expectation if the will is there as they permitted us to present the concealed document before the Court to determine the pending appeals. The document they concealed was what the judges relied on. The statement in the judgment said, ‘If the judge in the lower court had seen that document, he would not have given them that judgment meaning the judgment that empowered them to seal off my company was wrong. One of the ongoing appeals now in the court by Algrain Foods Limited is for the Court to give limitation order on what can be sold from the company, assuming the alleged N350million indebtedness is proved beyond any doubt.
Speaking on First Bank’s involvement, the Algrains boss said “the FCMB having seen that we were fighting back, involved First Bank of Nigeria which our company had a business dealing with, in the past to join forces to fight us. The two banks collaborated to put pressure on me that that our company owed them. The official from the First Bank was in my place several times looking for something to rope our company in. He had brought one programme and said they would give us N50 million in Dangote Flour line, to be repaid at every 60 days interval without interest. And we will put that money towards a flour project.
”We accepted and decided to patronise them. They disbursed N40million worth of flour and before they took our company, we had paid N27 million, remaining N13million out of which we had placed order for N4million worth of flour not supplied before the closure of the company. But the First Bank of Nigeria joined FCMB to take over the company. They came under N13 million to seal the place but when they wrote us, they said we owed them N155 million. When the books were dissected, we found out that we had overpaid them. So, we are in court with them on accusation of fraud.
The industrialist is therefore appealing to the Inspector General of Police to also intervene in the matter as some mobile policemen suspected to have been wrongly engaged in the carting away and sales of the machinery and other movable assets of Algrain Foods Limited (which is located on hectares of land) to a foreign company and other buyers. On tour of the premises by journalists, it was discovered that apart from the expansive warehouses and spaces that used to house production materials, machines and finished goods, not a single machine, forklift or vehicle was seen. Over forty trucks and other vehicles belonging to Algrains Food Limited had reportedly been sold by the receiver/manager based on the purported court judgment which has been challenged on appeal.

Coalition urges IGP to rebuild public confidence on Nigerian police
…Seeks investigation of AIG Moshood time in Lagos
The Coalition of Civil Society Organisations in collaboration with the Centre for Citizens’ Rights has urged the Inspector General of Police to rebuild public confidence in the Nigeria Police Force.
Speaking at a press conference in Lagos, the President of the Coalition, Adeyemi Olorunsogo and its Secretary, Kolawole Abe Emmanuel, said Nigerians expect professionalism, impartiality, and accountability from the leadership of the Force.
The Coalition expressed concern over consistent and clear repeated interference of the Lagos police command in matters that are purely civil in nature, and actions that suggest a troubling pattern of bias in the handling of sensitive disputes.
It said: “Over the past few weeks, our coalition has repeatedly drawn the attention of the public to the disturbing conduct of the Nigeria Police Force in Lagos State, particularly under the leadership of the immediate past Commissioner of Police, Mr. Olorundare Jimoh Moshood.
“We, therefore, call on the newly appointed Inspector-General of Police to exercise utmost caution in the deployment and assignment of senior officers, particularly in situations where their previous conduct has generated serious public concern.
“We note that Mr. Moshood has now been posted away from Lagos. We also acknowledge the appointment of the new Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Tunji Disu, whose professional reputation in intelligence-led policing, crime management and strategic leadership has earned him public respect.
“In view of this new leadership and in the hope that professionalism and accountability will define the next phase of policing in Nigeria, this coalition has resolved to suspend its earlier planned protest until further notice.
“In situations where the police ought to remain neutral and professional, the conduct of the former Commissioner appeared to tilt the scale in favour of certain interests, thereby undermining public confidence in the impartiality of law enforcement.
“In February 2026, without a valid court order, without a formal invitation, and without a lawful warrant of arrest, the former Commissioner reportedly declared Alhaji Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi wanted for murder.
“This declaration arose in the context of a family and community land dispute involving factions within the Ajiran community. Allegations bordering on murder is a very sensitive one as it does not only speak to law but sanctity of life and one accused of such if not cleared carries a life time burden.
“Following that declaration, the property of Alhaji Akanbi was reportedly destroyed by individuals who allegedly operated under the protection and watch of officers of the Lagos State Police Command.
“The Nigeria Police Force must never be seen as taking sides in private civil disputes. The integrity of law enforcement depends on neutrality, professionalism, and respect for the rule of law.
“Declaring a citizen wanted without a lawful warrant, proper investigation, or court order raises serious concerns about abuse of police authority and must never become a precedent in a democratic society.
“While promotions within the Police Force fall under the authority of the Police Service Commission, we believe that officers whose actions have generated significant public concern should be carefully scrutinized before being entrusted with greater responsibility.
“The appointment of the new Inspector-General of Police presents an opportunity to rebuild public confidence in the Nigeria Police Force. Nigerians expect professionalism, impartiality, and accountability from the leadership of the Force.
“Civil society exists to hold power accountable. Our intervention is not political; it is a duty to protect the rule of law and defend the rights of citizens. We wish the new Inspector-General of Police success in his assignment and urge him to live up to the expectations of millions of Nigerians who desire a police force that is professional, impartial, and accountable.”
Ajadi Unveils Ambitious 17-point Plan To Drive Jobs, Security, Growth
A governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has unveiled a comprehensive 17-point agenda outlining his policy direction ahead of the 2027 gubernatorial election.
Ajadi, who described leadership as a “relay race,” said his proposed administration would focus on continuity, consolidation, and innovation, building on existing development initiatives while introducing fresh ideas aimed at strengthening public trust and delivering measurable impact under what he termed the “Omituntun 3.0” framework.
The PDP chieftain said his manifesto prioritises industrial growth, agricultural expansion, security enhancement, infrastructure development, youth empowerment, and improved welfare for civil servants and pensioners, among other key sectors.
According to him, the agenda is designed to reposition Oyo State for sustainable economic growth, job creation, and improved quality of life for residents, while deepening grassroots democracy and inclusive governance.
He added that his vision centres on proactive governance that anticipates challenges and leverages strategic partnerships, technology, and policy stability to drive long-term development across the state.
Ajadi also pledged to strengthen public service delivery and ensure transparent, participatory governance that reflects the aspirations of the people of Oyo State.
Below is the full statement of the agenda released by Amb. Ajadi.
Oyo State 2027 Governorship Aspirant Ambassador Ajadi Unveils 17-Point Agenda
…Ajadi Reveals His Manifesto for the Good People of Oyo State
If I become the governor of Oyo State, my approach will be guided by continuity, consolidation, and innovation. Leadership is a relay race, and my commitment is to carry the baton forward—building on good works and introducing fresh ideas that deepen public trust and deliver measurable impact under the Omituntun 3.0 initiative.
My Core Priorities Include:
ENSURE CONTINUITY OF PROGRESS AND GOOD GOVERNANCE
I will strengthen existing development frameworks, promote policy stability, and introduce innovative solutions where gaps exist. Governance is a continuum, and sustainable progress requires building on tested foundations rather than dismantling them.
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION AND ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION
To reduce overdependence on federal allocation, my administration will pursue a deliberate industrial revolution through Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). We will revive and expand industrial zones, attract local and foreign investors, and provide incentives such as tax holidays, infrastructure support, and land access. This will stimulate local production, job creation, and economic resilience.
AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD SECURITY
We will reposition agriculture as one of the major economic drivers by supporting farmers with inputs, mechanisation, credit facilities, and market access. Large-scale farming of cassava, rice, cocoa, cotton, maize, and other crops will be encouraged, alongside agro-processing and export. Our goal is to make Oyo State food-secure within our first term.
RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND STRENGTHENING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
Rural development will be prioritised through road construction, ultramodern markets, water supply, electrification, and healthcare.
ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSPORTATION
We will implement Operation “No Single Pothole” policy on our major roads and some inner roads to ensure consistent road maintenance across urban and rural areas. Strategic partnerships with construction firms will be explored for major industrial and border roads, with mutually beneficial tolling arrangements where necessary.
STRENGTHENING SECURITY ARCHITECTURE
Security of lives and property remains fundamental. My administration will strengthen community policing, energise community watch structures, deploy technology for crime monitoring, and improve coordination among security agencies. Increased support for the Security Trust Fund and collaboration with private security operators will ensure safer communities.
Oyo State will continue to develop a modern, safe, and sustainable urban transportation system by introducing electric and hybrid cars and buses equipped with smart technologies such as GPS tracking, digital displays, CCTV, collision-avoidance systems, and cashless payments to reduce congestion, emissions, and operating costs.
The transport system will be inclusive and people-centred, featuring low-floor buses, ramps, wheelchair spaces, and audio-visual announcements to ensure safe and comfortable mobility for all residents, including persons with disabilities, the elderly, and children.
Through sleek modern designs based on the existing built terminals, strong safety standards, and transparent governance, urban transportation will drive economic growth, job creation, and improved quality of life across Oyo State.
This initiative will be achieved in partnership with the existing transport management body in Oyo State.
PUBLIC UTILITIES, WATER, AND WASTE MANAGEMENT
Provision of public waterworks through proper funding, infrastructure maintenance, and effective management. On waste management, modern legislation, private sector participation, recycling initiatives, and environmental sanitation will be pursued to create jobs and improve public health.
PARTY UNITY AND GRASSROOTS DEMOCRACY
Party unity, internal democracy, and grassroots engagement will be strengthened. A united PDP is essential for peace, cohesion, and collective progress.
Ultimately, my goal is to continue the trust in leadership by delivering a government that truly serves the people—one that listens, acts, and remains accountable. I am ready to carry the baton forward with loyalty, competence, and renewed energy for a better and more prosperous Oyo State.
EDUCATION: BUILDING A FUTURE-READY GENERATION
Education will be the backbone of Oyo State’s development, modelled after systems in developed countries where education drives innovation and economic growth.
Key Reforms:
Free and compulsory basic education with strong enforcement and incentives for school attendance.
Teacher retraining and continuous welfare upgrades, including continuous professional development, competitive salaries, and performance-based rewards.
Digital classrooms and smart schools, equipped with broadband internet, tablets, and a conducive environment for students across the state.
Technical and vocational education (TVET) aligned with industry needs, which will fall under the dual education system.
University–industry partnerships to promote research, innovation, and job placement for graduates.
Education loans and scholarship schemes for indigent but brilliant students.
Outcome:
A globally competitive workforce equipped with practical skills, innovation capacity, and strong civic values.
YOUTH, SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT: ECONOMIC GROWTH THROUGH TALENTS
As part of my commitment to youth development, my administration will prioritise youth participation in sports as a strategic tool for building a healthy, disciplined, and productive generation. We will invest in grassroots sports to improve physical and mental well-being, nurture talent, and instil values such as discipline, resilience, teamwork, and respect for fair play. Through sports, we will keep our youths positively engaged, reduce crime and social vices, and open pathways to education, employment, and professional careers. This agenda will also strengthen social inclusion, community cohesion, and collective pride, positioning sports as a pillar of sustainable development.
Drawing inspiration from developed countries that value talent, sports and entertainment will be positioned as part of projecting our talents who are looking for international sports participation and scouting.
Through a strengthened Ministry of Sports and Entertainment:
Grassroots sports development in schools and local communities to discover and nurture talent early.
World-class sports infrastructure, including mini stadiums in all schools, training academies, and community sports centres.
Sports scholarships and talent scouting programmes, connecting Oyo athletes to international clubs and competitions.
Creative industry hubs for music, film, fashion, and digital content creation.
Entertainment grants and low-interest loans for young creatives.
Annual international festivals to attract tourism, investors, and global attention.
Outcome:
Thousands of jobs created, global recognition for Oyo State talents.
EMPOWER YOUTHS AND WOMEN
Youth and women empowerment will be central to our agenda through skills acquisition programmes, entrepreneurship support, provision of access to soft loans, and funding for micro, small, and medium enterprises through partnership with financial institutions. Empowering these groups is key to reducing unemployment, poverty, and social unrest.
HEALTHCARE: A MODERN, ACCESSIBLE, AND PEOPLE-CENTRED SYSTEM
Healthcare will be built on multiple levels to ensure access, affordability, and quality.
Key Initiatives:
Universal health insurance coverage for all residents, especially the vulnerable.
Upgrading primary healthcare centres to operate 24/7 with modern equipment and trained personnel.
Specialist hospitals and diagnostic centres across the zones of the state.
Medical tourism within Oyo State, reducing the need for foreign treatment.
Public-private partnerships (PPP) in healthcare delivery.
Incentives to attract and retain doctors and nurses, including housing and career development opportunities.
Outcome:
A healthier population, reduced medical expenses abroad, and increased life expectancy.
HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT: MODERN CITIES, DECENT LIVING
Inspired by urban planning models in developed countries, Oyo State will undergo a visible transformation.
Key Policies:
Development of high-rise and low-cost modern housing estates in Oyo State.
Affordable housing schemes for civil servants, artisans, business owners, and low-income earners.
Smart city planning, including green spaces, reliable power, water supply, and efficient waste management.
Urban renewal programmes to redevelop slums and ageing neighbourhoods.
Mortgage and rent-to-home-ownership schemes in partnership with financial institutions.
Existing home ownership will be censored and integrated into the existing Oyo State map planning.
Outcome:
A cleaner, modern, and visually attractive Oyo State that supports economic growth and improved quality of life.
SECURITY: SAFE COMMUNITIES, STRONG INSTITUTIONS
Security will be approached using global best practices from community policing models in some developed countries.
Security Strategy:
Technology-driven security, including CCTV cameras, drones, and smart surveillance systems, will be integrated into the existing security system.
Strengthened community policing, working closely with traditional rulers and local leaders.
Rapid response units across all the local government areas of Oyo State.
Youth engagement and employment programmes to address the root causes of crime.
Improved welfare and training for security personnel.
Outcome:
Safer communities, protected investments, and renewed confidence among residents and investors.
RELIABLE AND AFFORDABLE ELECTRICITY:
We will deliver reliable and affordable electricity by investing in independent power projects, renewable energy, and modern distribution systems to guarantee steady power for homes, industries, hospitals, schools, and investors. This will attract foreign investors to choose Oyo State as their investment base and also eradicate dark environments.
Dedicated power supply will be provided to industrial clusters, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions to boost productivity and service delivery. Stable electricity will reduce dependence on generators, lower business costs, strengthen security infrastructure, and accelerate sustainable economic growth in Oyo State.
FAIR WAGES AND TIMELY CAREER PROGRESSION FOR SERVING CIVIL SERVANTS
Under Omituntun 3.0, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo pledges fair wages and entitlements that factor in prevailing economic realities for the workforce.
As a responsible and conscientious government, the Ajadi political ideology has gone ahead to provide a policy hedge for this, prioritising civil servants’ conditions of service.
By this, their salaries will continue to be paid regularly and promptly in line with established civil service rules.
In addition, merit-based promotions will be conducted as and when due, and there will be no issue of administrative delays or bureaucratic bottlenecks denying civil servants merited career progression.
Why will an Ajadi-led government keep faith with regular salary payment and promotion?
First, it is scriptural that a worker is worthy of his wages. In other words, anyone who has laboured to serve the state deserves decent wages for such labour.
Besides, regular payment of salaries is a sure way of sustaining workers’ morale, and my administration will not toy with it, knowing that the service is the engine room of productivity in any state economy.
Through these, therefore, an Ajadi-led government will sustain morale within the civil service, strengthen institutional efficiency, and guarantee that workers retire with dignity.
PENSIONERS AND RETIRED CIVIL SERVANTS: HONOURING SERVICE, SECURING DIGNITY
An Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo-led government would be run on equity and compassion, especially when it comes to pensions for retirees.
From the outset, the administration would put in place a robust pension payment framework that will not allow backlogs, but will instead be calculated upfront and paid as and when due.
This will enable retirees to plan their daily sustenance and also free government from running helter-skelter when it is time to pay.
Pensioners have served with their energy and time and should not be subjected to a beggarly status or have their lives endangered while seeking to receive what is both legally and morally theirs.
In connection with the above, our starting point is to seek to clear all verified outstanding pension and gratuity backlogs.
The modality for a transparent process has already been worked out and would go into operation upon the inauguration of the administration.
One of such modalities is the institution of a sustainable Pension Funding Framework aimed at ensuring uninterrupted and stress-free pension payment on a regular basis.
Digital and Seamless Pension Administration
Knowing very well how bureaucracy can affect genuinely thought-out government policies, the administration of Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo has gone ahead to plan for the introduction and expansion of e-payment systems and digital verification platforms.
This will both checkmate fraud and fast-track pension payment for all entitled Oyo retirees.
Health and Social Support for Retirees
Retired civil servants will be integrated into affordable healthcare schemes, while welfare support programmes will be designed to assist elderly pensioners in managing their health conditions.
The policy, already formulated, will, however, accommodate the input of pensioners’ unions in implementation.
Our Watchword
Under Omituntun 3.0, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo pledges that retirement will not mean rejection and that years of service will never be rewarded with neglect. Pensioners will be treated as partners in development and accorded the same respect and priority as serving workers.
An Ajadi administration will protect earned benefits, preserve dignity, and guarantee peace of mind for every retired civil servant in Oyo State.
TRANSPARENT, INCLUSIVE, AND PARTICIPATORY GOVERNANCE
I hereby sign an undertaking to be held accountable and prosecuted in a court of law for failing to fulfil the electoral promises that I hereby make to the citizens of Oyo State.
Anti-corruption measures will be institutionalised, public service delivery digitised, and citizen feedback will be encouraged. Women, youths, and marginalised groups will be actively included in political and leadership spaces to ensure equity and shared ownership of governance.
