The arraignment of 34-year-old Chinese national Liao Zhang was scheduled. He is accused of using a computer to destabilize Nigeria’s constitutional structure. The proceeding was stalled due to the absence of legal representation.

Zhang and Genting International Co. Limited were brought before the Federal High Court in Lagos by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). When asked about his legal representation, Zhang informed the court that he did not have a lawyer.

Justice Olayinka Faji adjourned the case until March 13, 2025, for the presentation of evidence of service for Genting International Co. Limited and the possible arraignment of Zhang
