A legal battle has erupted in the telecommunications sector as Mosakab Nigeria Limited and its promoter, Mashood Mustapha, drag Glo Mobile Limited, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), and Megatech Engineering Limited to court over alleged breach of contract and unpaid consultancy fees totaling $9,578,947.
The suit, filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja, under FHC/ABJ/CS/1534/2024, claims the sale of a 2.6 GHz Spectrum License by Megatech to Glo Mobile was marred by fraud and illegality, and seeks damages exceeding N20 billion.
Represented by George Ibrahim SAN of Ogwu James Onoja SAN law firm, Mosakab is asking the court to void the sale of the Spectrum License, compel Megatech to pay the $10 million consultancy fee, of which only $421,053 has been settled, and direct the NCC to revoke the Spectrum License issued to Megatech in 2020. The plaintiffs are also seeking an award of ₦5 billion for breach of contract and ₦10 billion in general damages, a court order to ensure that 5–10 percent of Megatech’s outstanding shares are allotted to Mosakab as stipulated in the 2017 consultancy agreement, and that the defendants cover ₦50 million as litigation costs.
According to the statement of claims, Mosakab was engaged by Megatech in June 2017 to facilitate the procurement of the 2.5/2.6 GHz Band National License, deploying extensive human and material resources to secure the license. Their efforts culminated in the NCC awarding the 40 MHz (TDD) 2.6 GHz Spectrum License to Megatech on March 26, 2020, for nationwide deployment over five years.
However, Mosakab alleges that after benefiting from the license, Megatech sold part of the Spectrum Band to Glo Mobile without paying the outstanding consultancy fee, leaving $9,578,947 unpaid despite the formal agreement.
The plaintiffs are seeking a declaration that they fulfilled their contractual obligations and are entitled to the unpaid fees, alongside damages and other reliefs.
Justice Mohammed Garba Umar has fixed March 3, 2026, for hearing, setting the stage for a potentially high-profile courtroom showdown that could reshape accountability and contractual enforcement in Nigeria’s telecom sector.
