The last may not have been heard about the case of alleged fraud against former Senior Special Adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan on Domestic Affairs, Waripamo-Owei Dudafa, and a banker, Joseph Iwuejo.
They were charged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over an alleged fraud of N1.6bn.
They were however discharged and acquitted by the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Thursday.
The EFCC in a statement said it was still studying the judgement and would approach the Appeal Court to challenge it.
Dudafa and Iwuejo were arraigned on a 22-count charge bordering on money laundering, conspiracy and concealment.
They were alleged to have laundered the fund through the accounts of A.B. Wise Resources Limited, Seagate Property Development and Investment Limited, Avalon Global Property Development Company Limited, Rotato Interlink Service Limited, Pluto Property and Services Limited and De-jakes fast food and Restaurant Limited.
They pleaded not guilty to the charges and were tried.
Delivering his judgement on Thursday, Justice Muhammed Idris declared that the charges against them were not proved beyond reasonable doubts.
He added that the prosecution failed to call “material witnesses”, including former President Jonathan, one Somprei Omeibi, the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emefiele and ex-National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
He said the “the prosecution did its best, but it failed to conclude investigation before going to court.”
