This action is a result of a legal application by Zhongshan, a Chinese company, which had its export processing zone management contract revoked by the Ogun state government in 2016. The seizure is the latest in a series of arbitration efforts by foreign companies against Nigeria, alleging that the country failed to uphold its agreements.
