Reprieve came the way of Nigeria's former Number 4 citizen, Rt Hon. Dimeji Bankole on Friday as a Federal High Court in Abuja discharged and acquitted him on charges bordering on fraud and abuse of office.
Justice Evoh Chukwu, in a ruling on a no-case submission by Bankole, held that the EFCC “failed woefully” to establish a prima facie case against the ex-Speaker in the N874million contract fraud charge against him.
