Court Acquits Justice Ngwuta Of Corruption Charges


A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Friday dismissed all the 13 counts of money laundering and passport fraud instituted by the Federal Government against a serving Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Sylvester Ngwuta.


The Justice was among the judicial officers whose houses were raided by the operatives of the Department of State Services in October 2016.

This was followed by corruption charges by the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation.

Justice John Tsoho, r
uling on an application by him on Friday, the trial judge, dismissed the charges.

Justice Tsoho, anchored his ruling on an earlier judgment of the Court of Appeal, which held that the pre-conditions for instituting charges against a judicial officer were not met before charging Justice Ngwuta.
