On Friday, the Supreme Court ordered a contractor, Kris Onyekwuluje, and his company, Artex Investment Limited, to refund N85,575,111.60 to Benue State Government due to poor execution of the contract which the money was meant for.
The government had paid them the money for a contract of supply of radio transmitters awarded to them over 15 years ago.
In a unanimous decision on Friday, the five-man appeal panel of the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by Onyekwuluje and Artex to challenge the earlier decisions of the Federal High Court in Enugu and the Court of Appeal in Jos as well as the directive of the state’s Commission of Inquiry directing them to refund the payment to the state government.
