NASCO has responded and I'm rubbing my hands already because I will enjoy taking this apart inside 10 minutes flat!

Thread!

The statement quotes the UNSC Resolution SC/9172 dated 15/11/2007, claiming that it "totally exonerates Ahmed Nasreddin and his business of all false allegations."

Please find the link to the UN Resolution here
un.org/press/en/2007/…

Please show me where Ahmed Nasreddin is "exonerated" here. This resolution merely confirms that he has been removed from the list because the US has removed him from its list (which is what the article said).

Now this is where the real wahala is. The statement says "At no time were the assets of NASCO Group Nigeria and/or any of its subsidiaries...ever seized nor their accounts frozen due to any of these infractions.

Now check the next tweet.

Here is a letter from the Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the United Nations addressed to the Chairman of the Counter-Terrorism Committee, Amb. Aminu B. Wali.

Look at this excerpt from page 5-6.

So pleas,e who is lying here?

Hi @NascoGroup, I put it to you that you are telling lies. I am saying this on record.

If this is not the case, I challenge you to sue. I expected this weak response to include even a legal threat.

So here am I "the individual," hereby challenging you to go to court.
