A Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered 48 individuals to report to the State Security Service (SSS) regarding allegations of fraud and the illegal receipt of funds.
The legal action emanated from a 2025 filing (Suit No: FHC/L/MISC/649/2025) involving an investigation into financial irregularities.
Daily Tech gathered that the individuals named in the suit are scattered across ten Nigerian states, including major economic hubs such as Lagos, Abuja, Kano, and Rivers.
The court presided by Justice Mohammed Umar, established a 60-day window from the date of the public notice for the named individuals to present themselves at the SSS Lagos Command in Shangisha.
The list of 48 suspects includes individuals ranging in age from 24 to 76.
The court stressed that the order provides an opportunity for the individuals to respond to allegations of illegal money transfers and fraud;
“The purpose of this visit is for them to clear their names regarding the fraud allegations. The court warned that this is a formal legal requirement under Suit No: FHC/L/MISC/649/2025. They are hereby directed to make themselves available to the State Security Service (SSS), Lagos Command, within 60 days of this publication”
The prosecution argues that the 48 individuals are linked to the illegal receipt of money and that their appearance is necessary to conclude the investigation into financial fraud.
