A Lagos Federal High Court is hearing a case against Fidelis Egueke, a former Zenith Bank manager, accused of threatening businessman Dr. Jude Ndudi over a N480 million dispute. The charges include fraud and conspiracy, with multiple judges involved. Ndudi testified about threats made by Egueke and missing funds from his accounts, leading to police involvement. Egueke allegedly diverted large sums of money and pressured Ndudi for loans. The trial is ongoing, with the next hearing set for March 2026, highlighting issues of financial fraud and abuse within banking.
