Barely two weeks after SaharaReporters' story on the filing of 17 counts bordering on conspiracy, fraud and forgery against the Chairman of Zinox Group, Stan Leo Ekeh, his wife and others before a Federal Capital Territory High Court, the company has filed a process to open their defence in the alleged N170.3 million contract feud. This comes days after representatives of Zinox Group in several media publications and interviews refuted the story and denied knowledge of any criminal prosecution against their principal in any court in the country.

Meanwhile, findings by SaharaReporters revealed that the application filed by Falana has since been missing from the court registry after it was filed. Sources in the court told SaharaReporters that the incident has shown the desperation of the personalities involved in the case, who are bent on doing everything to cajole and deceive the public that there was no charge against them. The court officials wondered where the suspects got the case file they used to submit their defence.

LD/4335/2014 he filed in November 2014 against the suspects at the Federal High Court, Igbosere, Lagos should be allowed to run its full course before the criminal case, to avoid the miscarriage of justice.Not satisfied, Joseph petitioned Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, who directed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to look into the matter.Although the EFCC quizzed the suspects and confirmed their complicity in the crime, the police still refused to prosecute them.
