(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Six years after their arraignment, a Federal High Court sitting in Enugu presided over by Justice R. O. Dugbo-Oghoghorie has discharged and acquitted one Patrick Shanchi Nwokike and his wife, Mrs Rosemary Ifeoma NwokiIke of allegations of operating an illegal wonder bank.
Dugbo-Oghoghorie yesterday in a 143-paged judgment held that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) failed woefully to prove its case against the couple and their firm, Let’s Partner With You.
The judge said 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.
