Attorney General Lateef Fagbemi has declared that presidential aircraft are sovereign assets used solely for sovereign purposes, making them immune from attachment. This statement follows the seizure of three presidential aircraft in France by the Judicial Court of Paris. Fagbemi emphasized that the federal government is pursuing diplomatic and legal means to address the issue. The Office of the National Security Adviser and the Attorney General are working together to discharge the orders against the aircraft, protected by sovereign immunity. Fagbemi stated that the government is taking further actions to resolve the dispute through legal means, reiterating that the aircraft are sovereign assets immune from attachment. This statement responds to the seizure due to an alleged debt owed by the Nigerian government, clarifying that the orders were obtained by Zhongshan Industrial Investment Company Limited to enforce an arbitral award against the Ogun State government.
