In his ruling, Justice James Omotosho concluded that the anti-drug organization had not produced enough proof to support the accusations made against Kyari and his two brothers, who were also charged with making fake affidavits to hide the provenance of specific properties.
According to the judge, the prosecution failed to present reliable evidence connecting Kyari to properties on Linda Choko Road in Asokoro and Maiduguri, Borno State, or to landed properties in Fountain Estate, Kasana, which were allegedly owned by Ramatu Kyari.
He pointed out that the prosecution did not produce any of the traditional history, title documents, acts of possession, or possession by connection that could be used to prove ownership of landed property.
The prosecution did not refute Kyari’s claim that the Maiduguri properties belonged to his late father and were inherited by him and his siblings, according to Justice Omotosho, who also stated that the accusation of conspiracy against his brothers was not proven.
As a result, the court cleared the defendants of all charges and dismissed them.
