Court Fixes May 13 Trial Date for Alpha-Beta Whistleblower as Petitions Remain Unresolved

A Lagos court has adjourned the trial of whistleblower and activist Segun Oluwasanmi and other defendants linked to Alpha-Beta Consulting Limited until May 13, 2026, when proceedings are expected to begin. The case comes amid claims that the ICPC, EFCC and Lagos State Police Command have not acted on petitions alleging forgery, bribery and tax evasion involving officials connected to the company. Petitioners say the complaints were submitted and acknowledged months ago, but they have received no substantive updates. Oluwasanmi, a former employee, is facing prosecution over social-media posts that authorities said could cause a breach of peace. His supporters argue that the case is an attempt to silence him after he made allegations of financial and internal misconduct against the firm. The dispute has raised wider questions about whistleblower protection, accountability and whether allegations against politically connected interests are investigated fairly.

A trial date is important, but it does not by itself settle the claims surrounding the agencies or the defendants.

People following this should separate confirmed court dates from allegations and wait for what is presented when proceedings begin.
