A Federal High Court in Abuja has rejected the no-case submission made by the suspended Director-General of National Broadcasting Commission , Ishaq Kawu Modibbo, and two others in respect of the alleged N2.5 billion fraud charge brought against them by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission .
Justice Giwa-Ogunbanjo rejected the defendants’ argument that the prosecution was unable to establish a prima facie case against them. Kawu’s lawyer, Abdulhakeem Mustapha urged the court to discharge and acquit his client on the three counts of the charge. “My lord, for the minister not to refute the approval and not telling the court that he was misled, nor say anything to the contrary, shows a big gap,” Mustapha said.Izinyob noted that the prosecution failed to prove the essential ingredients outlined in sections 302 and 303 of Administration of Criminal Justice Act .
