The advisory relates to aircraft M-MYNA (GLEX6000), identified as Global 6000 serial number SN9471, which is registered in the Isle of Man aircraft registry.
In a statement titled “Caveat Emptor – Aircraft Ownership Contention (Global Jurisdiction)”, the law firm stressed that public records do not conclusively establish legal ownership or the right to sell the aircraft.
Crainsten Partners warned that interested buyers must conduct independent verification across relevant aviation registries and jurisdictions before proceeding with any transaction involving the aircraft.
The firm noted that while no liens or encumbrances are currently disclosed in the Isle of Man registry, this does not eliminate the possibility of competing claims or unresolved legal issues surrounding ownership.
It further cautioned that all parties should comply strictly with international aviation regulations and seek qualified legal and aviation counsel before engaging in any transaction.
The advisory explicitly stated that it does not waive rights or imply uncontested ownership, urging potential buyers to proceed at their own risk.
Crainsten Partners also advised against any purchase or dealings related to the aircraft until the dispute is fully resolved, reinforcing the seriousness of the ownership contention.

Dangote Petroleum Refinery has set its initial public offering price at ₦525 per share, with the company seeking to raise about ₦2.15 trillion as it prepares to enter Nigeria’s public equities market.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved the offer for 4.1 billion ordinary shares at ₦525 each. If fully subscribed, the offer would generate approximately ₦2.15 trillion, equivalent to about $1.6 billion at current exchange rates.
The offering is expected to open on 14 September 2026, according to Aliko Dangote, the president of Dangote Industries. The planned sale is positioned to become one of the largest equity offerings in Africa.
The IPO marks a significant step in Dangote Group’s plans to broaden ownership of the refinery and raise additional capital for expansion.
The refinery currently has a stated processing capacity of 650,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Dangote has said the company plans to increase that capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day as part of its longer-term expansion strategy.
The planned share sale follows a $1 billion underwriting programme completed in August, providing additional financial backing ahead of the public offering.
The refinery, located in the Lekki area of Lagos State, is one of Africa’s largest industrial projects and has become an increasingly important player in Nigeria’s fuel supply market since beginning operations.
The public offering will give Nigerian investors an opportunity to acquire shares in the refinery directly, while providing Dangote Petroleum Refinery with fresh capital to support its next phase of growth.
The company has also indicated ambitions to expand beyond its current Nigerian operations, with Dangote recently announcing plans for another refinery project in Kenya.
