Telecommunications operator Glo Mobile Limited, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and Megatech Engineering Limited have been dragged before the Federal High Court, Abuja, over an alleged breach of a multi-million-dollar consultancy agreement.

Mosakab Nigeria Limited and its promoter, Mashood Mustapha, are seeking over N20 billion in damages, accusing the defendants of violating contractual terms tied to the acquisition and subsequent sale of a 2.6GHz spectrum licence.

In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1534/2024, the plaintiffs are praying the court to nullify the sale of the 2.6GHz spectrum by Megatech to Glo Mobile, alleging that the transaction was “tainted by fraud, illegality and bad faith.”

The suit, filed by George Ibrahim (SAN) of Ogwu James Onoja & Co., also seeks a court order compelling Megatech to pay the plaintiffs $10 million, which they claim is the outstanding balance of a 2017 Consultancy Agreement.

The plaintiffs want the court to direct the NCC to revoke the 2.6GHz licence earlier issued to Megatech in March 2020, insisting that the licence was obtained through their efforts as consultants.

Aside from the dollar claim, Mosakab and Mustapha are demanding N5 billion for breach of contract, N10 billion as general damages, and an order mandating Megatech to allot 5–10% of its outstanding shares to Mustapha in line with the 2017 agreement.

According to the statement of claim, Megatech engaged the plaintiffs in 2017 to help secure the 2.5/2.6GHz National Licence, prompting Mosakab to deploy significant human and financial resources. Their efforts, they said, led to the NCC’s issuance of a 40MHz (TDD) spectrum licence for nationwide deployment on March 26, 2020.

The plaintiffs also allege that Megatech leveraged their contacts to negotiate a spectrum-sharing arrangement with Glo Mobile — a process they claim cost them about $250,000 in resources.

However, tensions reportedly escalated after Megatech allegedly failed to fulfil its $10 million contractual obligation, paying only $421,052 and leaving an outstanding balance of $9.57 million. The plaintiffs further accuse the company of selling its stake in the spectrum to Glo Mobile without settling the outstanding debt.

Mosakab and Mustapha are asking the court to declare that they have fully discharged their contractual obligations and are entitled to the unpaid balance. They are also seeking N50 million as litigation costs.

Justice Mohammed Garba Umar has fixed March 3, 2026, for hearing of the matter.
