In a plot twist that sounds more like a Nollywood script, a French court has seized not one, not two, but three Nigerian presidential jets! This international drama began when Zhongshan, a Chinese company, had its contract with Ogun State terminated back in 2016.
The company wasn’t about to let it slide, so they took it to court, eventually winning a whopping $74.5 million. But when Ogun State didn’t pay up, the French court decided to collect the debt… in the form of Nigeria’s flying VIP lounges.
The Dassault Falcon 7X, Boeing 737, and an undelivered Airbus 330 are now grounded, leaving the Nigerian government scrambling to figure out how to get their airborne assets back.
Meanwhile, Nigerians are left wondering if they should start crowdfunding to bail out the jets—after all, no one likes being left on the tarmac!
