Nigerian Billionaire Femi Otedola Loses $400 Million In 9 Weeks

Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola has lost more than $400 million of his personal fortune over the last 9 weeks as the stock price of Forte Oil, the Nigerian-listed energy behemoth he controls, shed off 43.5% in value within that period.

In late February the share price of Forte Oil hit an all-time high of N342 per share after the Lagos-based utilities and petroleum marketing company released its impressive 2015 FY results and declared an attractive dividend of N3.45 per share. However, as at close of trading today (Tuesday), its share price has dropped to N193.46 after recording consistent daily losses over the past few weeks. Otedola, who is the company’s controlling shareholder, has seen his paper net worth drop from $1.6 billion when FORBES published its annual ranking of the World’s Billionaires in March, to $1.2 billion today, according to the FORBES’ real-time billionaire scorecard.

A source at Forte Oil says that the drop in the company’s share price is not unconnected to massive sell-offs of bonus shares from some of the company’s retail investors. Last year, Forte Oil offered investors a bonus of 1 new share for every 5 ordinary shares they held. In total, Forte Oil declared roughly 216 million bonus shares for the 2014 business year. The bonus shares were only issued to investors a couple of weeks ago and they have been scrabbling to sell off their bonus shares on the market to cash in. This mass sell-off has precipitated the drop in the share price.

“This is only temporary. As you’ll see, even though investors are selling off their bonus shares, there are institutional investors who are buying up all the shares on offer as evidenced by the volume of the transactions in the last few days. When all those bonus shares are cleared up by institutional investors, you’ll see the share price rising again,” the source said.
Of the 216 million bonus shares which have been issued, Femi Otedola received approximately 170 million.

Forte Oil PLC is primarily engaged in the distribution of petroleum products such as diesel, aviation fuel and Premium Motor Spirit (PMS). The company has over 500 company-owned, dealer-assisted and dealer-developed gas stations spread across the country, oil storage depots in Lagos and Rivers states, a Power plant and a Joint User Hydrant Installation facility in Lagos. The company also sells its own range of automobile lubricants. In 2014 the company was included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International Frontier Market 100 Index.

Oyo state police arrest 21 suspected armed robbers

The Oyo State Police Command has arrested 21 robbery suspects in various parts of the state.

According to the state Commissioner of Police, Leye Oyebade, some of the suspects were recently released from prison. Among the suspects is a six-man gang, said to operate in Oyo, Ogbomoso and Ilorin.

They suspects are Aliyu Azeez, 28; Olanrewaju Ajayi, 23; Kehinde Abiodun, 28; Adeleke ADeyemi, 26; Teslim Muhammed, 26; and Adamu Muhammed, 23. Leader of the gang, Teslim Muhammed, said they were arrested after taking delivery of guns in Ilorin.

He said, “We had yet to make use of the weapons when we were arrested. After the guys who brought the guns to us were arrested, they implicated us and brought the police to our hideout in Agbabiaka area of Ilorin. The guns were actually brought to me. We all met at different occasions. I knew Azeez through a friend called Tosin.”

According to police commissioner, the suspects were nabbed while making plans to carry out a robbery operation. Exhibits recovered from them include a three cut-to-size double-barrelled guns, three locally made pistols, 14 live cartridges, three computer laptops, 29 assorted mobile phones, two digital cameras, six cutlasses, four jack knives, one saw blade, three spanners, one hammer, one nail pinchers and assorted criminal charms.

The command also arrested another gang of suspected robbers, who shot their victim after robbing him of a Toyota Camry car with number plate DL 994 LLD on April 26 in Olorunda-Aba area of Ibadan.

One of the suspects, Kamaru Ganiyu, was released from a prison in Oyo State in February, but returned to criminal activities soon after his release. Other members of the gang are Agu Onyeka, Biodun Jamiu, Dare Azeez and Nurudeen Bilawu.
