The Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed July 21 for the arraignment of four defendants, including a commercial bank, over allegations of unlawfully accessing and disclosing the confidential financial records of a company.
The defendants are Oluwaseyi Famousa, Paul Oku, Zenith Bank Plc and Yesu-Felix Abosede Alice.
Justice Hauwa Yilwa fixed the date on Monday after the Inspector-General of Police informed the court that the defendants would be arraigned on an eight-count charge bordering on alleged cybercrime and unauthorised access to banking data.
The charge, marked FHC/ABJ/CR/349/2026, alleged that the defendants, between December 4, 2025 and January 22, 2026, conspired to unlawfully access, obtain, transmit and disclose confidential financial records belonging to Makers Island Company Limited without lawful authority or a court order.
The police further alleged that they used electronic communication systems and banking computer infrastructure to access, intercept, alter and disclose the company’s confidential financial information, thereby compromising the integrity of its banking records.
