Case against former lawmaker arrested with $499m on election eve withdrawn

Adangor did not give any reason for the state government’s decision to withdraw the case against Igwe.

The trial Judge, Justice Stephen Daylop-Pam, in his ruling, after the position of the state government was not opposed by the defence counsel, discharged the defendant.

The judge also ordered the Police to return his international passport and other exhibits seized from him.
