WHY FASOLA SEALED OFF JIMOH IBRAHIM LAGOS OFFICE

HARD TIMES FOR JIMOH IBRAHIM
…4-weeks after Mimiko sent him packing at Owena Motel, Akure
---Fashola Seals off Air Nigeria Headquarters


While the wound and disgrace inflicted on the ego of the Ikale Billionaire Chief Jimoh Ibrahim by the governor of Ondo State,Dr.Olusegun Mimiko who sent him packing from Owena Motel was gradually healing another Governor, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola of Lagos State had sent officials of the Lagos State Board of Internal Revenue Services[LSBIRS] to seal off one of his Lagos based companies.

 The corporate headquarters of Air Nigeria, one of the companies of the Ikale billionaire, Mr Ibrahim’s , also a financier of the Ondo State Chapter of the disintegrated Peoples Democratic Party[PDP]  at  Etiebet’s place on Mobolaji Bank Anthony way, Ikeja Lagos  was  sealed-off over alleged unpaid tax.

Sunshine Voice Lagos Correspondent report that the Lagos State government officials stormed the office of Dr. Ibrahim who was among the short-listed PDP ministerial nominees from Ondo State at about 12.30pm and locked it up after asking the workers to vacate the building.

The workers were said to have been forced to relocate to the car park behind the corporate building after the officials allegedly visited the place to transact skeletal business with multitude Air Nigerian passengers.

But chairman of the airline, Jimoh Ibrahim, through the telephone responded that the matter was resolved, admitting that the tax collectors came visiting the office over tax matters which he said was owed when the airline was under the management of Richard Branson and called Virgin Nigeria.

Ibrahim however disclosed that what the Board of Inland Revenue owed were taxes when Branson, chairman of Virgin Group,was owner of Virgin Nigeria, a company Ibrahim bought over only last year .
This occurrence is coming just on the heels of  an earlier tough time being  witnessed by the businessman who received  a shocker from the Ondo State government who refused to extend  tenure of his company NICON LUXURY Hotels Management PLC lease as the official manager of  Owena Motel.
Dr Jimoh Ibrahim was recently featured in themedia celebrating the takeover of the Oceanic Bank Plc and the establishment of a private university at Sao Toe respectively as well as buying over the Newswatch media empire which he promised to turn into a daily paper.
Though he had also gone through some troubled waters in recent time having his mother kidnapped and battling Ondo State PDP chapters crisis

MIMIKO SETS TO DEAL WITH JIMOH IBRAHIM,...AS ODSG TERMINATES OWENA MOTEL LEASE

Mimiko sets to deal with Jimoh Ibrahim:
as ODSG terminates Owena Motels Lease










DR OLUSEGUN AGAGU,[FMR GOVERNOR OF ONDO STATE]

As you are reading this story the representatives of the Ondo State Government [ODSG] deployed from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry would have finally taken full control of the State owned Five Star Hotel, Owena Motels, Akure  from the NICON Luxury Company, owned by Chief Jimoh Ibrahim.
As at the time of filling this report some,our reporter gathered from some staffers of  NICON Luxury who have been managing the hotels for over three years  hat the state government has refused to extend the lease agreement with their company.
 This abrupt termination of the lease and refusal o extend the  agreement between ODSG  and NICON Luxury Company on the management of Owena Motels Limited, may be  a clear indication that the present administration in the state is set to dael with the Ikale born billionaire.
It would be recalled that NICON Luxury Company, which is one of the numerous firms owned by billionaire politician, Mr. Ibrahim, had an agreement with the state government during the twilight days of Gov. Olusegun Agagu to run the hotel for an initial period of three years, subject to review.
The agreement was signed on May 2, 2008 and it was expected to lapse on May 2, 2011 over two weeks ago which made the state governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, to  direct the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Mr. Akin Akingbesote, to put an end to the lease.
 This made the Commissioner to  second a very senior official from the ministry of commerce to Owena Motels o Igbatoro,road,Akure  to act as the receiving manager.
The two party,thst is the NICON Luxury team ad the State government officials are already taking stocks and crosschecking available record of all the assets and liabilities of the hotel, before the agreement would be formally terminated.
Sunshine VOICE reporters also gathered that some members of staff of some of the NICO staffers who once hold sway in the hotel had since vacated their rooms and chalets within the hotel complex as some have even checked in to nearby hotels.
The workers were said to have been moved into the vacant office of the NICON Insurance complex located at Isinkan area of Akure.
 Up till the moment of fii this report both the state government and the billionaire company has not issued an official  statement on the new development.
