A Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja this morning October 15th discharged and acquitted him of all charges.
The case was closed today after the EFCC Counsel, Mrs E.A Sanusi appealed for the withdrawal of the case since no foreign witness was willing to come forward to testify against Ajudua. Following the appeal by the EFCC counsel, the presiding judge, Justice Kudirat Ajose ordered that Mr Ajudua be discharged of the charges.
