According to Geecat, the development equates to a textbook case of Zenith Group passing its tax liabilities to it (Geecat Solutions LTD).

After unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issues peacefully, Geecat filed the lawsuits on February 15, 2022, through its Counsel, Chief Goddy Uwazurike of Uwazurike & Associates.

In each of the suits, Geecat is seeking N200 million from the two defendants. The originating processes have been served on the defendants. The lawsuits are expected to be filed in the near future.
