Management of NASCO Group Nigeria has denied reports making rounds of its business and allegedly involve in financing terrorism, describing it as "defamatory and slanderous".
NASCO equally said the United Nations Security Council and the US Government had after 2001security challenges acros the world, totally exonerated NASCO’s late founder, Dr. Ahmed Nasreddin, and his business interests of all allegations
The denial was contained in a press statement, through the organisation's group, Public Affairs Advisor, Haroun Audu, made available to journalists in Jos, the Plateau State Capital.
It reads: “We state categorically that we have never and will never sponsor any criminal act, or violence of any kind that will disrupt the peace and tranquillity of the Nigerian state or any country in the world.
“After the unfortunate events of 2001, thousands of people and entities around the world were subjected to investigations.
“A detailed examination by the United Nations Security Council and the US Government totally exonerated NASCO’s late founder, Dr. Ahmed Nasreddin, and his business interests of all allegations.
“It was clearly established that NASCO was never at anytime associated with the sponsorship of terrorism, directly or indirectly anywhere in the world", the statement maintained.
Adding that, “A similar investigation was done by the National Intelligence Agency of Nigeria, where it also came to the same conclusion, thereby exonerating our late founder and NASCO Group of any act or complicity in the sponsorship of terrorism in Nigeria or any other country.”
The organisation further stated that "at no time were the assets of NASCO Group and/or any of its associated business interest ever seized or their accounts frozen due to any of the stated investigations.
"We therefore firmly reject this false report, which was done in a clearly orchestrated manner with malicious intent.
"It speaks volumes that the individual who is behind this mischievous article chose to only feature false allegations almost two-decades old, while intentionally leaving out the final UN resolutions and the accompanying exonerations", the statement wondered.
"As with all false and hate-filled articles, the truth will prevail. NASCO will continue to provide the quality life for Nigeria", the statement stressed
