Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Founder of Rahmaniya Group, Abdulrahman Bashar, has vowed to challenge a judgement given against him by a Dubai court, describing it as a pressure tactic to threaten his reputation and business.<\/p>\n

A Dubai court had sentenced Abdulrahman to one year in prison for an alleged financial crime involving his dealings with CE Energy Company, an oil and gas firm.<\/p>\n

Abdulrahman, in a statement issued Monday, said he was working with the global law firm, HFW, to overturn the judgment delivered on January 30, 2025, which he claimed he wasn\u2019t given a fair hearing.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe refer to the criminal proceedings and recent judgment issued in the criminal courts against Mr. Bashar on 30 January 2025. First and foremost, Mr. Bashar rejects any allegations of criminality.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are several ongoing civil disputes between CEE and Mr. Bashar. The criminal proceedings have, in our view, been filed against Mr. Bashar as a pressure tactic in the context of the commercial proceedings, to threaten Mr. Bashar\u2019s reputation and business.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Bashar will take all available steps available to him to challenge the judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abdulrahman alleged that CEE had used similar heavy-handed litigation tactics in the commercial proceedings, including seeking a Worldwide Freezing Order (WFO) from the English court against him.<\/p>\n

According to him, the WFO was successfully challenged and discharged. CEE\u2019s appeal to the Court of Appeal was also rejected. The English court recognized the futility of CEE\u2019s tactics.<\/p>\n

Abdulrahman expressed optimism that the judgment would be overturned once the defense is considered.<\/p>\n
