The case which has dragged for many years arose from a transaction about 13 years ago between Citadel Oracle Concept Limited, an Ibadan-based computer firm owned by an Enugu state indigene, Mr. Benjamin Joseph, and Technology Distributions Limited over the supply of computers to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), a project in which Technology Distributions fully extended credit to Citadel and which has no bearing whatsoever with Zinox and its promoter, Mr. Leo Stan Ekeh.
In the latest development, the current AGF, Mr. Lateef Fagbemi SAN, in a letter dated 2nd May 2025, addressed to The Principal Partner, Falana and Falana Chambers, and signed by Mr. M.B Abubakar, Director, Public Prosecutions of the Federation, directed Falana to withdraw Charge No: FCT/HC/CR/985/2024 (FRN. v. Leo Stan and 12 others), in the interest of justice.
