Acting as receiver/manager, the group head, AMCON,  Kamilu Alaba Omokide, handed the management of Arik Air to NG Eagle Limited and Super Barvo Limited.

But not satisfied with the decision, the management of Arik Air rushed to court to set aside the decision.

Arik Air led by its founder, Johnson Arumemi Ikhide and co-plaintiff, Mary Arumemi Ikhide, dragged AMCON, its group head, Mr Omokide, NG Eagle Limited, Super Bravo Limited and Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority before the court over the takeover of Arik’s assets and management.

In the suit, the plaintiffs prayed the court for the following reliefs: A declaration that the duty imposed on the 1st defendant by Section 553 of the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020 to act in the best interest of Arik Air Limited as a whole includes the duty to act in the best interest of the Plaintiffs as members of Airk air Limited.
