AMCON Officials Face Contempt Charges for Disobeying Court Orders

AMCON officials, including Bala, Alade, Lamidi, Adaghe, and Dan'amu, have been served with a Form 48 Contempt Notice for disobeying court orders issued by the Federal High Court in Lagos. The court restrained AMCON from appointing a receiver for General Hydrocarbon Limited (GHL), but subsequent actions by AMCON led to contempt proceedings.

The court documents accuse AMCON of misleading the court and misrepresenting facts regarding the appointment of a receiver for GHL, including payments to First Bank Nigeria (FBN) for an Eligible Bank Asset (EBA) application.
