Former Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, Munir Gwarzo. [Photo credit: Business Eye]A Federal Capital Territory High Court on Tuesday discharged the suspended Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission , Mounir Gwarzo, of the charge of fraud filed against him.
The minister then set up a panel to investigate the alleged issues, after which the ICPC arraigned them in court. Ruling on the first count of a five charge of use of office for personal enrichment against Mr Gwarzo, the judge said the ICPC did not prove its allegation. Mr Baba-Yusuf held that: “The burden of proof was on the prosecution but through its own exhibit, which includes a board resolution which approved the car benefit for an executive director who had spent more than two years in office, the charge against Mister Gwarzo has not been established,” he said.
Now he should be reinstated to his post as DG-SEC.
Since Minister Kemi has been pushed out, we expect this to happen.
In simple terms: Even if he is found to be guilty in future. He cannot be tried for this case again. Even our time is not ours.
Kanawa sai ku fada ma Buhari ya mayar muku da dan ku kan mukamin sa, tunda court tace bai laifi ba.
Judge like Baba-Yusuf should not be allow in a corruption case...He should onlly be assigned to a case where to 6 month babies fight.... The Judiciary needs to be reformed...
Nigeria Judiciary is the hope of Corrupt people... This corrupt guy is acquitted
Then, he needs to be reinstated immediately.
