The chairman and owner of Zinox Technologies Limited, Leonard Stanley Ekeh, has been grilled by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over an alleged N170 million contract fraud.

Also questioned alongside Ekeh were two other officials of the company.

Stanley Ekeh is being accused of accused of colluding with the other officials to hijack and illegally execute a contract awarded by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).

The contract was awarded by the FIRS to Citadel Oracle Concept Limited, based in Ibadan, Oyo State.

Citadel Oracle said it lost the offer after it refused to pay bribe.

The EFCC took over the case after a petition was sent to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo

Mr. Ekeh has denied the allegation, saying the petitioner was trying to blackmail and extort Zinox.

“As a businessman, anybody can write a petition against you,” he said
