The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, through the Director of Public Prosecution has told a High Court in Abuja that it has taken over the prosecution of the case of “false petitioning” by the police against Citadel Oracle Concept Limited and its Managing Director, Benjamin Joseph, who raised a petition over N170million Federal Inland Revenue Service contract fraud.
At the resumed hearing of the case before Justice Peter Kekemeke on Tuesday, the police lawyer, Simon Lough, announced his appearance for prosecution and thereafter Alilu also announced his appearance for the prosecution and informed the court that the AGF had taken over the case. The letter titled “RE: Charge No. FHC/HC/CR/216/2016 – IGP vs Benjamin Joseph” reads, “I am directed to inform you that the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation in the exercise of the powers conferred on him by Section 174 b of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has directed the taking over of the above-captioned charge No. FHC/HC/CR/216/2016 pending before Hon. Justice Kekemeke of the FCT High Court, Maitama, Abuja.
Joseph accused some senior officials of Zinox Technologies Limited and its subsidiary, Technology Distributions Limited of conspiring with their allies to fraudulently hijack and illegally execute, using his company’s name, an N170.3million contract awarded to his company by the FIRS in 2012. To facilitate the fake account opening, Joseph said Onuoha and Ijeabu illegally gave out to the syndicate the original copies of his company’s documents with the bank.
