Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke of a Federal High Court in Lagos has discharged and acquitted the Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District, Peter Nwaoboshi, of the N322 million fraud charge slammed on him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The senator was cleared of the alleged offence alongside his two firms, Golden Touch Construction Project Ltd and Suiming Electrical Ltd.
Delivering judgement in the matter Friday, Justice Aneke said the EFCC failed to prove the elements of the offences for which it charged the lawmaker and his firms to court.
