A UK court has sentenced the CEO of Rahamaniyya Oil and Gas Limited, Abdulrahman Bashir, to a 10-month jail sentence after he was found guilty of breaching multiple orders of the court in a pending lawsuit initiated by Sahara Energy Resources Limited.
In previous court mandates in February, Bashir was ordered to comply with several orders including the release of 6.4 metric tons oil to Sahara Energy Resource from its Lagos terminal. Bashir breached those orders by failing to allow or procure Rahamaniyya Oil and Gas Ltd to allow the release of the oil from the terminal.
The court, in its sentencing, did say that Bashir’s sentence could be reduced to six months if he complies with the previously breached order. The judge in the case also handed down a fine of £500,000 to the company.
