When u read about cases like this, it's hard to hear any aboki name inside

U can only hear aboki name with terrorists related case but when it come to fraud it's always our people.

Malami use his office to cover up now his tenure has expired, them forget that Tinubu no the forgive and forget. Even if u be his brother if him no like u he can never forgive u

But 160m na small money na compare to that one way bello loot

When are they starting registration of party members, I want to join a political party. APC seems to be the only stable political party in Nigeria now

Slymontee:
You really have a hearing problem caused by ethnic bigotry. You never heard about the corrupt deals malami did as AGF? You never heard Tinubi's Chicago deals and how half of Lagos money goes to his family? Ibeto piwakwa gi onu there!

Bigboytinz:
160m as at 2013 when it was embezzled was about 1 million US dollars. That's around 1.5 billion Naira today excluding interest

TimeManager:
I heard Ibeto had also refunded N3.2 billion from a fraudulent transactions. It beats me how these so called rich men keep getting richer through crooked means. Most of them get govt contracts and pocket the funds. Bunch of thieves.

-Kiss the truth!

Good morning, my daddies, mothers, brothers, and sisters on Nairaland Forum.

My name is Babatunde. I'm 28 years old. I had a car accident two weeks ago in which my left leg got broken in three places. Please help me.

These are pictures of my leg yesterday morning when we visited the man working on the leg.

Please help me. I need your support. My leg has collected the #60,000 left on me. I'm broke and still need funds for daily care of my broken leg.

Please help me. I'm soliciting your help because I have spent the #60,000 left on me on the leg. My parents have tried too. I need your help to continue my medication and daily care of my broken leg.

The man (bonesetter) working on my broken leg said it will take 6-8 months for the bones to join together very well. Which means I will spend 6-8 months lying in bed every day.

My people now carry me to do the private things I do on my own. Can't go to the bathroom on my own; my brother bathes me. I can't rush to the toilet whenever I'm caught short; I have to call my people on the phone to take me to the toilet. Please help me.

The man (bonesetter) working on my broken bones charged us the sum of #40,000; we've paid #30,000.

The nurse who stitched the wound on my leg and who will be giving me injections and prescribing drugs for me till my leg totally heals charged us #60,000; we've paid #40,000.

Every three days, we hire a car to take me to the bonesetter's house; we pay #2000 for this per day.

We have paid part of the treatment bill. Where I'm having an issue now is how to pay up the remaining treatment bill and how to get funds to pay for the transportation fare to the house of my bonesetter every three days. Please help me. I'm broke, and my family has really tried for me. Please, I need your help to take good care of my leg every day.

Please, my bank details are:

Bank: OPAY
Acct No: 913 531 0933
Acct Name: Babatunde Sikiru Yisa

May God's protection continue to be on you and your family. May you and your family never be victims of motor accidents. Amen

I live at NO 34, Araromi Street, Eleko Town, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State.

If you live close to me and want to visit me, that's my address, and my phone number is 0913 531 0933. Thank you. May God continue to bless you.

Inspirer1:
okay, but with your analogy, hope you also know that if they had changed it to dollars back then like you noted, they would have had 1million dollars, however today, if they are told to refund the 160 million naira, they will just refund 97,000 US dollars (at 1650 per dollar) which is the equivalent of 160 million naira. Just 97k dollars from 1 million dollars.

Bigboytinz:
a court would order the dollar equivalent at the time with interest if the fg applies for that. Definitely

It doesn't add up. If you really know the can of IT deals TD pulls in Nigeria, you will know the story is not adding up. Leo Stan is fucking rich man to be do fraud of over 160 something millions.

It doesn't add up.

SmartPolician:
If AGF and Justice Minister Abubakar Malami was frustrating the case in the past, he should be joined in the lawsuit because he is likely to have benefited from the deal.

If Stan Ekeh took government money without delivering the products, I am truly disappointed. That man seemed different like Cosmas Maduka and Ibukun Awosika.

Efficiencyhub:
That amount is too small for ZINOX to be found wanting.. Maybe a case of business gone wrong..

EXCLUSIVE: How Nigeria’s AGF Fagbemi Authorised Falana To File Fraud Charges Against Zinox Group CEO, Leo Stan Ekeh, Wife, Others After Malami Shielded Them From Prosecution

The then AGF and justice minister, Abubakar Malami, SAN, had for years shielded the persons from prosecution, thereby frustrating the case and hindering thorough investigation.

The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), officially authorised renowned human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), to file file fraud charges against the Chairman of Zinox Group, Leo Stan Ekeh, his wife, Chioma and 8 other individuals and three companies, on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

SaharaReporters reported on Tuesday that Ekeh and the others were charged before the Federal High Court in Abuja for allegedly diverting N162,247,513.80 intended for a laptop supply contract at the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) Headquarters.


In a correspondence by Fagbemi, SAN, dated December 20, 2023, and obtained by SaharaReporters on Wednesday, the AGF noted that the prosecution of Ekeh and others was at the expense of the nominal complainant, Mr. Joseph Benjamin as requested.

The then AGF and justice minister, Abubakar Malami, SAN, had for years shielded the persons from prosecution, thereby frustrating the case and hindering thorough investigation.

In the memo obtained by SaharaReporters, titled, "Authorisation Under Section 174 Of The Constitution Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria 1999 As Amended', and addressed to the Federal Ministry of Justice, the AGF said, "In the exercise of the powers conferred upon the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice by section 174(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended, I, Lateef Olasunkanmi Fagbemi, SAN, Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, hereby authorize; Mr. Femi Falana of Falana & Falana & Co. of 22 Mediterranean Street, Imani Estate, Abuja- FCT, Nigeria to exercise the Powers on my behalf with particular reference to the refiling and effective Prosecution of Charge No. CR/827/2013 between Federal Republic of Nigeria and Chris Eze Ozim and 6 ORS at the expense of the nominal complainant, Mr. Joseph Benjamin as requested.


"You are to also ensure diligent prosecution and consistent update on the progress report of the case to my office without let or hinderance."

SaharaReporters on Tuesday reported that the government took legal action against Leo Stan Ekeh, his wife, Chioma and 8 other individuals and 3 companies, charging them before the Federal High Court in Abuja for allegedly diverting N162,247,513.80 intended for a laptop supply contract at the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) Headquarters.

The funds, domiciled in account number 0059202675 with Access Bank Plc, were reportedly misappropriated by the defendants under the guise of payment to Citadel Oracle Concept Limited.

The Complainant – the Federal Government of Nigeria – alleges that the accused knowingly used the account to receive and launder proceeds from the contract, despite being aware of its illicit nature.

The charge sheet, filed under case number FCT/HC/CR/985/24, lists individuals and entities, including Leo Stan Ekeh, Chioma Ekeh, Mr. Chris Eze Ozims, Oyebode Folashade, Charles Adigwe, Obilo Onuoha, Agartha Ukoha, Anya O. Anya, Femi Dosumu, and Nnenna Kalu as the Defendants.

The companies involved are Admas Digital Technologies Limited, Technology Distributions Limited, and Zinox Technologies Ltd.

The 15 counts filed on November 26, 2024 and received by the high court on November 28, 2024, were signed by human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) on behalf of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN).
