Why the court dismissed the case against Ubah
Ubah, representing Anambra South Senatorial District, was absent in court today, but during the proceedings, counsel for the complainant informed the court that the parties had agreed that the case against the Senator should be withdrawn in Lagos.
The counsel therefore urged the court to strike out the charge filed against the Defendants.
Counsel for the defendants, Mrs Ifeoma Esom, also confirmed to the court that agreements have been reached with the complainant.
In his ruling, Justice Oweibo struck out the charge.
