A Federal high court sitting in Lagos south west Nigeria has restrained a Lagos businessman Adeniyi Adebulugbe Jaiyesimi who resides at 16 Wesley Close, luxurious friends colony estate, Lekki and carries on business at Donex Technical Services Ltd. as\u00a0 the Managing Director of the company from operating, withdrawing from or dealing with his funds in any bank or financial institution within Nigeria pending the hearing of the Bankruptcy suit filed against him.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The order of the court was sequel to a bankruptcy petition filed by Sterling bank Plc against Mr. Adeniyi Adebulugbe Jaiyesimi as a debtor pending before the Court.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mr jaiyesimi was alleged to have\u00a0severally borrowed huge sums of money from Magnum Trust Bank now Sterling Bank Plc. since the beginning of 2003, and refused to repay the loan for so many years, thereafter the bank obtained judgment against him in a suit CV\/1208\/2009\u00a0filed before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja in the sum of\u00a0N90,640,095.74\u00a0with a 10% interest until liquidation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However Since 08 of June 2009 when the judgment was delivered, Mr. Jaiyesimi has refused to pay the judgment sum despite various efforts of the bank in this regard. The bank was therefore left with no other option than to issue a bankruptcy proceeding against him before the Federal High Court, Lagos south west Nigeria in suit FHC\/L\/BK\/3\/2019.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to the Bankruptcy Act, when there is a judgment against any person for money and a Bankruptcy notice is served on him to pay, settle or arrange for the loan within 14 days\u00a0of service of the Bankruptcy Notice, if such a person fails to pay, settle or arrange for the loan to be repaid\u00a0 within the 14 days period, then such a person has committed a Bankruptcy Act and a Bankruptcy Petition can be issued against him,consequently, a Bankruptcy Notice was served on Jaiyesimi on\u00a012th of April,19\u00a0and following his refusal to do the needful, the Bank issued the Bankruptcy petition against him on\u00a023rd of May,2019.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Consequently, sterling bank seeks from the court the following reliefs: An order declaring the debtor bankrupt.,<\/div>\n
Consequential orders as follows: Empowering the bank to sell the debtor’s properties be it landed or chattels where-ever situate \/or found including but not limited to his shares wherever they are held either by private treaty or by Public auction advert of which shall be published in two widely read Nigerian National Dailies.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
An order granting leave to the bank to appropriate or otherwise utilize the properties, investments,shares or other interests of the debtor whenever found and in all the companies \/corporate entities in Nigeria, in capital or full satisfaction of the debt due.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
An order permitting\/allowing the Creditor to apply the proceeds from the sale of the Debtor’s properties\u00a0 chattels, chooses in action or interest towards liquidating his indebtedness to the bank.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Meanwhile, the Presiding Judge Mohammed Liman\u00a0 while adjourning till 17th October, 2019 for further hearing granted sterling\u00a0 bank’s prayer seeking to freeze all the assets and funds of Mr. Jaiyesimi wherever they may be found particularly those in the custody of banks.<\/div>\n
