Legal advice from the State Ministry of Justice through the office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), exonerated Kewulere.
Earlier, government prosecutor, Abubakar Issa, prayed the court to discharge Kewulere on the basis of the fact that legal advice has found him not guilty of the offence.
His counsel, Aminat Abdulrahman, also corroborated the prosecutor, saying his client is a religious man with no past record of any criminality.
Magistrate Alege, however, discharged Kewulere while the trial of other defendants was adjourned to April 12, 2021.
Meanwhile, Prima facie facts were established against other suspects in the case, having been indicted for having a case of culpable homicide to answer.
