A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has directed 48 individuals to present themselves at the Lagos Command of the State Security Service, SSS, in Shangisha over allegations bordering on fraud and unlawful receipt of funds.

The order, issued on January 12, 2026, is connected to an ongoing investigation in a suit instituted by the Federal Republic of Nigeria against Yakubu Idris and 47 other persons.

According to the court’s directive, the affected individuals are required to report to the SSS within 60 days from the date the public notice was issued, in line with the provisions of Suit No. FHC/L/MISC/649/2025.

The court said the appearance is mandatory to enable the suspects to respond to the allegations and clear themselves during the course of the investigation. It warned that failure to comply with the order would amount to a breach of a lawful court directive.

The notice listed the names of the individuals alongside their last known addresses across several states, including Abuja, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Nasarawa, Kano, Imo, Delta and Rivers.

Those named are between the ages of 24 and 76.

Among them are Yakubu Idris, Ajibade Lukman Olawale and Owolabi Adesina Samuel.

The court consequently directed all the listed persons to report to the States Security Service, Lagos Command, within the stipulated 60-day period for further action.
