A breakdown of the liquidated loans shows that AMCON purchased a total of N13.479 billion from Wema Bank in respect of Josepdam & Sons Limited; another N4.479 billion from Keystone Bank on behalf of Josepdam & Sons Limited as well as N466.445 million from Keystone Bank in respect of Josepdam Sugar Company Limited.

Recall that a section of the media had recently been erroneously listing Josepdam alongside other obligors that are yet to liquidate their indebtedness to the corporation.
The said publication also alleged that Mrs. Josephine Kuteyi and Mr. Saheed Kuteyi were both deceased.

Responding to this, in a statement made available to LEADERSHIP yesterday, the head of Administration of Josepdam claimed that Mr. Saheed Kuteyi was in fact the current chairman of Josepdam Group and is alive.

She advised the media to always verify information before rushing to the press.

She said the company will not waste its time to sue media houses involved in the malicious publication, adding that, “the company will not waste its time chasing media houses, which are grossly unprofessional and at best only exist in social media space as sane Nigerians do not ascribe any credence to such publications.”
