A Federal High Court sitting in Enugu, on Wednesday discharged and acquitted the Founder of Let s Partner With You, Patrick Nwokike and his wife, Rosemary of allegations of operating a “wonder” bank.
Delivering judgment in the matter on Wednesday, Justice R. O. Dugbo-Oghoghorie, held that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) failed to prove its case against the couple and their firm, “Let’s Partner With You”.
The judge held that in criminal proceedings, the burden lay on the prosecution to prove its case beyond all reasonable doubt as against beyond every shadow of doubt.
The judge, therefore, resolved all the issues on a four-count charge preferred against the defendants by the EFCC in favour of the defendants.
