Meanwhile, Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, has reserved Monday, June 11, for ruling on an application to discontinue a 13 amended count charge against the national commandant of the Peace Corps of Nigeria, Dickson Akoh.
The Nigeria Police had, in March 2017, filed a 90-count charge against Akoh but later amended it to 13-count charge, after it was observed that most of the charges were repetitive.
But counsel to the defendant and former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Chief Kanu Agabi (SAN), approached the court where extant matter was being heard, urging the presiding judge, John Tsoho, to discontinue the criminal proceedings.
