An Abuja Federal
High Court on Friday, 14 February, discharged and acquitted Dimeji Bankole,
after finding that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission was not able to
prove a 16-count criminal charge, bordering on a N9billion contract scam, filed
against him.
Justice Evoh
Chukwu, ruled no-case-submission and held that there was no evidence linking
the former Speaker to the alleged offenses.
As judgement was
passed a visibly stunned Bankole, seated in the witness box cried the cry of ‘JOY’ as
he was set free by the corrupt judiciary system to go in peace and enjoy his
loot.
