An FCT High Court sitting in Abuja has discharged and acquitted the suspended Director-General of the Security and Exchange Commission Munir Gwarzo and his co-defendant, a former Executive Commissioner Corporate Services, Zakwanu Garuba, who were charged to court by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission .
The court held that while the ICPC did not implicate Mr. Gwarzo in their testimony, the remaining witnesses who are operatives of the ICPC contradicted themselves and that no reasonable tribunal could find the defendant guilty.
He also held that the testimony of the prosecution witness number two clearly shows that the first defendant had no role in deciding what was entitled to him and as such could not have used his office to enrich himself.
