Benin City – The Edo State Government has issued a strong public notice cautioning against any attempts to purchase or claim ownership of Bendel Brewery Limited, a property it confirmed belongs wholly to the state.
In an official statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Umar Musa Iklilor, Esq., the government emphasized that all assets—both movable and immovable—belonging to Bendel Brewery remain the property of the state and are not for sale.
According to the notice, the legal status of the company is currently the subject of an ongoing court case, with litigation pending at the Court of Appeal under Suit No. CA/B/200/2022.
The state government warned the public to disregard any information or claims suggesting that the property or any part of it is available for sale. “Let the buyer beware,” the statement read emphatically.
