The prosecuting counsel, Aliyu Umar (SAN) said the defendants have a related pending case before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
He said, “This government respects the rule of law, and hierarchy of the judiciary. It is obvious from these two applications (filed by Saraki and Ekweremadu) and the similar case before your learned brother, Justice Kolawole, at the Federal High Court who is dealing with the issue that we are withdrawing the charges.
Justice Halilu withdrew the case after the defence counsels did not oppose the motion.
